Photos: Alabama QB Blake Barnett following tradition with famous girlfriend

Alabama freshman quarterback Blake Barnett is following the script.

Not only can he throw a football 70 yards and through the uprights, but he has a famous girlfriend like previous Alabama quarterback, AJ McCarron. Barnett’s girlfriend is professional surfer Maddie Peterson, who’s from New Jersey. Peterson is currently ranked 70th in the World Surf League Qualifying Series rankings.

Peterson, however, was recently in Tuscaloosa, according to Barnett’s Instagram feed.

Had to say bye to this awesome girl today. Thanks for visiting T-Town, I’ll see you soon.

Peterson is now an Alabama fan, as you might imagine.
