Article published Jul 6, 2005 Tide's Forbes misses score
The incoming recruiting class for the University of Alabama football team has sustained its first academic casualty.
Defensive end Antonio Forbes (6-4, 265 pounds) from Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, Ga., told Scout.com late Tuesday that he didn't score high enough on the SAT to qualify. He'll likely head to a junior college next season.
Alabama over-signed the class, with particular emphasis on the defensive line. Forbes was one of four signees at strong-side defensive end, along with Brandon Fanney (6-5, 260), Bobby Greenwood (6-4, 239) and Travis McCall (6-2, 235). On the weak side, Alabama signed Brandon Deaderick (6-4, 232) and Zach Schreiber (6-2, 220).
