News Staff • August 10, 2024
Castille has made legendary moves off the field as well
Former NFL player and current Chaplain of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Jeremiah Castille, is scheduled to speak in Orange Beach on the evening of Aug. 23. The event, open to all ages, will be hosted by the Lower Alabama Young Professionals (LAYP) at the Springhill Suites at The Wharf in conjunction with the Coastal Tailgate Cook-Off
Challenge, happening the following day.
Castille played for the last team coached by the legendary Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, a year where Castille received All-SEC honors and selection as the MVP of the 1982 Liberty Bowl. His NFL career led him to Denver where he forced a key fumble in the 1987 AFC Championship Game, helping the Broncos punch their ticket to Super Bowl XXII. In 2001 Castille was named Chaplain of the Crimson Tide football team, a role he holds to this day.
“We are so thrilled that Jeremiah will be coming down to speak with us,” said Cory Skipper,
Chairman of the LAYP group. “The skills and leadership traits he learned throughout his long
career, along with his motivational messages, are invaluable.”
Admission into the event is $35. Along with the speaking event, attendees will be granted access
to a tailgate themed appetizer buffet and live cooking demo & sampling from Bill-E’s Small
Batch Bacon out of Fairhope. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their best game day
jerseys and attire.
