Draped in Crimson, just minutes before taking the field in the 1982 Liberty Bowl, Jeremiah Castille spoke to his teammates on behalf of the senior class and legendary head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.

"Whatever it takes tonight men, we have got to win this game for Coach Bryant."

The 21-15 victory over Illinois signaled the end of Castille's collegiate career and the end of an era. Bear Bryant dressed in his signature houndstooth faded away from the sidelines, but never from the heart of Alabama nation.

Though Castille faded from the sidelines as well, his spirit, hard work, determination and character live on at The University of Alabama.

Castille's son, Tim, now plays for Alabama and continues the family legacy, but Jeremiah's impact in the locker room as a player in 1982 has transcended to 2007, as he enters his sixth year as the football Team Chaplain at The University of Alabama in addition to serving the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham areas.

On June 29 and 30, Jeremiah Castille ministries will hold a Celebrity Golf Tournament featuring over 30 celebrity golfers. Some individual's slated to attend Castille's event include Ozzie Newsome, coaches Gene Stallings, Ray Perkins and Neil Calloway, John and Brodie Croyle, Jay Barker, Joe Cribbs, A.C. Carter, Mike Gottfried, Chris Samuels and Super Bowl champions Doug Williams and Lee Roy Jordan.

On Friday, June 29 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. celebrities will take part in a meet and greet at SideLines SanRoc Cay at Orange Beach.

Proceeds will go towards the continuation of Castille's ministry of creating positive paths and outlets in Alabama's communities.

"I call it investing in our future," Castille said. "Along with working with student athletes, we have a student lead ministry at Alabama and in Birmingham we are in the process of a renovation that will create a place for after school activities."

Before Castille's days as a team chaplain he spent six seasons in the National Football League, accruing 14 interceptions and recovering three fumbles. After being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers he went on to finish his career with the Denver Broncos.

Nowadays he finds himself working with the youth of the Alabama, hoping to create a better tomorrow by guiding future leaders. Castille said his current path in life seemed logical yet destined.

"I feel like it's a natural progression for me," he said. "Coming from an alcoholic family God used the adversity in my life to make me strong. My outreach came from coaches, teachers, mentors and other people that entered my life when I came to The University of Alabama."

Entering his sixth season as team chaplain Castille has worked with three different coaches at Alabama beginning with Dennis Franchione's last season, the Mike Shula era and now with head coach Nick Saban.

In addition to with playing for the Tide Castille had connections with Shula at Tampa Bay during his rookie season in the NFL.

Now, Shula is gone and SabanNation is running rampant. According to Castille, experience is the major factor that will aid Saban in restoring Alabama's winning tradition.

"Experience at running a major college program is most important," the Columbus, Ga. native said. "Also knowing what you have to have in place for that program to be successful. It was learning on the job for coach Shula because he didn't have the experience. Coach Saban has had several years of experience."

Castille's body of work creates a powerful resume by anyone's standards. Although he is no longer draped in a Crimson Tide jersey, Castille is draped in the Crimson of his Lord and Savior and continues to make a difference in the community.
