Watch: Alabama football walk-on offensive lineman receives full scholarship
An Alabama football offensive lineman has a full scholarship for his redshirt senior season. According to a video posted by the University of Alabama Name, Image and Likeness collective Friday, August. 15, Graham Roten, a fifth-year offensive lineman out of Nashville, Tennessee, received a scholarship from 68 Ventures, a development and investment company based in Daphne, Alabama. "Everything that they have taken from here, wanting to give back," Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said of 68 Ventures founder Nathan Cox. "And I know this has been on Nathan's heart for a while. We've been talking about this, swapping emails. He's put a lot into what he wanted this scholarship ... this 68 Ventures support for one of you walk-ons, including everything that a scholarship player would have: room and board, tuition, books, fees, all of it." DeBoer then announced Roten as the recipient, who was mobbed by his offensive line teammates. "Forever grateful for the opportunity to be (a part) of this program for the past 5 years," Roten wrote on his Instagram story. Cox said Roten was the only player who pulled Cox aside at a spring practice and talked with him about what he wanted to pursue after football with his business degree. Roten played in two games for Alabama in 2024: Western Kentucky and Mercer. He was offensive scout team player of the week ahead of the Western Kentucky opener. Roten also played in Alabama's 2023 win against Chattanooga. Alabama football opens the 2025 season at Florida State Aug. 30.

Lockheed Martin to open large missile assembly building in Courtland early 2026
COURTLAND, Ala. (WHNT) — A major American defense contractor is expanding its operations in North Alabama by bringing another large facility to a small town in Lawrence County. Lockheed Martin told News 19 that a new 88,000 square-foot Missile Assembly Building is currently under construction in Courtland. The new building is expected to open early 2026, the company said. Lockheed Martin said the spacious building will help advance defense systems in Courtland. The building is being built for the Next Generation Interceptor program. Lockheed Martin's website says with the NGI program, the mission is to 'develop, produce and deliver a modern, never-fail weapon against increasing and evolving ballistic missile threats from rogue nations. NGI is a first line of defense, tip-to-tail interceptor within the Missile Defense Agency's Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system.' The company said Courtland currently supports critical defense programs for the Army, Navy and Missile Defense Agency. Over 400 employees currently work at the Courtland site, and Lockheed said it expects an increase in workforce in 2026 following the opening of the new building. 'We're not just working on defense programs. We're defining what the future of missile defense looks like,' Lockheed Martin said. The company has a long-standing relationship with the town of Courtland. In 2019, the company announced that it would have a Hypersonic Strike Work manufacturing plant with two new buildings. The Aerospace and Defense company broke ground at the site in September 2019 and it was officially opened on October 4, 2021. The milestone of opening this building established northern Alabama as the 'Home of Hypersonic Strike Production,' Lockheed Martin said. In 2023, Lockheed Martin developed a partnership with the town of Courtland and helped convert its part-time fire department into a full-time, 24/7 emergency service with new equipment and staffing. Through a partnership with the State of Alabama, Lockheed Martin said it received a $1.8 million infrastructure grant to improve roads around the 88,000 square-foot facility. 'Lockheed Martin is building advanced defense systems in Courtland, but more importantly, we are investing in the future of the community. From workforce development and infrastructure upgrades to enhanced emergency services, our commitment extends beyond our facility. Real progress happens when industry and community grow together, and we are proud to help build a stronger, more resilient future for Courtland and the surrounding region.'

Alec Friel Launches Nationwide Tax Movement Through Three Fast-Growing Companies
MENDON, MI / ACCESS Newswire / August 15, 2025 / Alec Friel, a former Junior Olympic champion turned serial entrepreneur, is making waves in the financial world with a bold mission: helping Americans understand and implement advanced tax strategies through education, empowerment, and accessibility. Through his three growing companies Tax Saving Experts, Cost Seg Masters, and Tax Architect Solutions Friel is leading a national effort to make the tax code work for everyday business owners and investors. He grew up in Mendon, Michigan, a rural town of fewer than 1,000 people and moved from there to the San Francisco Bay Area, and then to Dallas. With his geographical moves and experiences, his wealth of resources have expanded. Today, he runs multiple seven-figure companies and helps others take control of their financial future by teaching them how to reduce taxes legally and strategically. 'Most people overpay because they don't know what's possible,' said Friel. 'The tax code rewards people who understand it, and our mission is to make sure more people do.' Friel's flagship company, Tax Saving Experts, has scaled to over seven figures in just 18 months and is projected to reach multiple 7 figures this year. Now operating as a multiple seven-figure firm, TSE provides hands-on tax strategy coaching to entrepreneurs, investors, and high-income earners seeking to keep more of what they earn. The company offers hands-on tax strategy coaching to entrepreneurs, investors, and high-income individuals seeking clarity and results. His second company, Cost Seg Masters, specializes in engineered reports for cost segregation studies, helping real estate investors accelerate depreciation and reduce taxable income using IRS-approved methods. CSM is currently on track to generate multiple 6 figures this year, positioning it as a multiple six-figure operation within the tax savings ecosystem. The newest venture, Tax Architect Solutions, is a boutique tax filing firm expected to generate nearly seven figures in its first year. With strong client demand and scalable systems already in place, TAS is quickly approaching the seven-figure mark and is projected to cross that threshold in year two. Together, these three companies form a comprehensive tax-saving ecosystem for clients nationwide. Friel's model is unique in that it blends education with implementation. His firms host live coaching calls five days a week, providing clients with real-time support a rarity in the tax industry. Clients not only receive strategies tailored to their financial situation, but they also learn how and why those strategies work. 'My goal is to empower people, not just serve them,' Friel said. 'If someone can understand the rules, they can change their future.' Friel's success is built on personal experience. Every tax strategy he teaches has been tested and proven in his own businesses. His approach is detailed in his 2018 book, 'The Millionaire's Apprentice: From Poverty to Prosperity, " which chronicles his rise from struggle to success. With competitive pricing currently in place and plans to raise rates over the next three to five years, now is a key time for individuals and businesses to take advantage of his services. Friel has previously been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and NASDAQ for his innovative approach to tax strategy and client education. His growing influence on LinkedIn reflects his rising presence in the financial education space.
