FILE - This May 7, 2011 file photo shows an aerial view of tornado damage to Tuscaloosa, Ala. Carson Tinker is no longer that no-name guy who delivers the ball on punts and kicks. The Jaguars longsnapper shed that anonymity nearly three years ago when an EF-4 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, Ala., leaving him physically and emotionally scarred and killing his girlfriend Ashley Harrison. As an Alabama football player, Tinker became one of the faces of a vicious storm that left dozens dead in Tuscaloosa alone. He has since shared his experience with youth groups and churches and written a book _ "A Season To Remember: Faith in the Midst of the Storm."(AP Photo/Dave Martin, File)
