Following Coach Seawell, an emotional Nick Dunlap took the podium. He thanked Coach Seawell for recruiting him, and he thanked his team.

"I truly have the best team, thank you," said Dunlap.

"It's pretty surreal, but it's also scary," Dunlap said about the decision. "It's an incredible opportunity, and I'm very grateful for it."

Alabama will now have seven pro golfers on the PGA Tour. Dunlap will join Michael Thompson, Trey Mullinax, Davis Riley, Robby Shelton, Lee Hodges, Bud Cauley, and of course, Justin Thomas on the PGA Tour.

Dunlap will debut as a pro at the Pebble-Beach Pro-Am in February.
