08/11/19 - Jonathan Haden, rSr/2020, Alabama-Birmingham, 5-06, 176 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Jonathan Haden is a scrapper. The redshirt senior, listed at a generous 5-foot-7, was poised for an increased role for the UAB football team after a solid 2017 season, but the Arizona transfer suffered an injury in the final home practice before the Blazers left the country for the Bahamas Bowl. Thus began an almost two-year journey as Haden recovered from surgery, sat out the 2018 season and made the move to his natural position at running back before entering spring practice back in February. Then, almost suddenly as it happened a year prior, another injury - albeit minor - cut short Haden's progress resulting in his absence from the spring game.

"It's a long season and offseason, people get hurt," Haden said. "Things happen and you got to work through it." Haden now enters the 2019 season with high expectations from the coaching staff. "He's dynamic," UAB coach Bill Clark said. "One of the things we felt like when he first got here, he was probably a little heavier and bulked a little bit than we wanted him. Had the injury and then has come back as kind of the person we were looking for. Looks good and is in great shape, and he's just dynamic with the ball in his hands." - Birmingham Post Herald

2019 PRESEASON OUTLAND TROPHY WATCH LIST: DT Garrett Marino, UAB,...In 2018, Marino helped pace UAB's record setting defense by being a monster in the run game, while add 19 tackles, 6.5 TFL and 3.5 sacks. Most notably, Marino scored eight points last year with a 48-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in a 31-24 victory against Tulane, and a safety against North Texas to jumpstart a come-from-behind 29-21 victory over the Mean Green. Marino is the only returning starter on the defensive line and will look to carry a young but talented group up front. - UAB Football

2019 PRESEASON PAYCOM JIM THORPE AWARD WATCH LIST: Brontae Harris, UAB, Jr.,...Harris was rated Conference USA's top cornerback in 2018 and will again be one of the best defensive players in the league this season.

The Blazers ranked top 10 nationally in six different statistical categories, and the secondary finished 14th overall in passing yards allowed. Harris played in 12 games and was limited midway through the season due to a mild injury. He was still able to lead UAB in interceptions and pass breakups en route to All-Conference USA Honorable Mention accolades. He finished the year with 34 total tackles, two picks and 11 PBUs, and saw his targets decrease down the stretch of the season as teams stopped throwing his way. - UAB Football

He is currently tied with Joe Webb for most in program history. - Alabama-Birmingham Football
