Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama has produced a number of student leaders at the University of Alabama, both on and off the football field. One of them died Thursday. It was All-American linebacker Woodrow Lowe.

He passed away at his home in Collierville, Tennessee at age 71.

Lowe played college football for the Crimson Tide under Bear Bryant from 1972 to 1975. He was a three-time All-American, earning consensus honors in 1974.

After a stellar career at Central High, Lowe was recruited by the University of Alabama in 1972.

He also played on four SEC championship teams and one national championship team.
