1. Who is Alton Davis?
I'm a guy who enjoys baseball, doesn't mind working for what he wants, loves his family, likes to help others and does his best to respect and treat others the way I want to be treated. I enjoy the outdoors and enjoy listening to any type of music from Al Green, Lil Baby, Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan. I hope to own my own business one day.

2. What's the best part of being a University of Alabama athlete?
Being a part of an elite group of individuals who have the opportunity to play a sport they love, get an education and be supported by great fans. No matter where you go with Bama gear on, it's always Roll Tide. 

3. What's your all-time favorite meal?
Chicken and Rice, green beans , fried corn and biscuits. 

4. Where's your favorite spot in Alabama?
Beloit, AL which is where my grandmother lives. It's 15 minutes outside of Selma, AL.

5. If you could only keep one of the following, which would you choose and why? Local steaks, local strawberries or local pecans? 
Local strawberries because that's my favorite fruit. 

Follow Alton on Instagram to cheer him on this baseball season, and keep up as he shares locally-grown goodness!
