We’ve all seen in-stadium proposals, but how about a proposal from the office of your favorite college coach? That’s exactly what Drew Clayton pulled off for his now-fiancée, Kayla Posey.
According to Al.com, at the time of the engagement, Posey was finishing up graduate school at Alabama and was working in the Alabama Football office, eventually moving up the ladder to become an assistant of Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban.
With the help of Posey’s co-workers from the football office, Clayton was able to propose to her inside Nick Saban’s office. Best of all, the scene was captured on camera.
Clayton, an alum of Mississippi State, said that he hid in Saban’s private bathroom for about 30 minutes (Saban was out of town) after he replaced a 2012 BCS National Championship ring that was on the coach’s coffee table and replaced it with a custom engagement ring he had designed for Posey.
Meanwhile, Posey’s co-workers told her that a “very important guest” was coming to visit the facilities, so she “needed to shine the rings in Saban’s office.”
That was when she noticed that her ring was in place of one of Saban's rings.
“When I got into the office, one of the national championship boxes was closed,” she said. “I started cleaning it with my dress and I opened the box. I looked at it for a second, and I thought, ‘That’s my ring.’”
That was the moment when Clayton came out from the bathroom and got down on one knee.
“I was never the kind of guy that wanted to ‘go to dinner and go on a walk and then pop the question,’” Clayton said. “I wanted something that was very cool, and something we could always remember.”
Well done, Mr. Clayton. Well done indeed.
