Al Blades is a name that some Miami fans will likely remember as he was selected to the All-Big East first team in 2000 and played for the San Francisco 49ers shortly after. Unfortunately, his life was cut short in a car accident, but his legacy lives on in his son Al Blades Jr. And now junior is headed to a place that would make his dad proud:
