With the return of college football, a new quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide has emerged and he's bringing along his stunningly beautiful girlfriend for the ride.

Blake Barnett, the freshman quarterback for Alabama, is dating professional surfer Maddie Peterson.

The blonde beauty is originally from New Jersey and could arguably be the new first lady of college football, taking the place of Katherine Webb in the stands.

Two years ago Brent Musburger's comments in a now infamous video turned Webb, A.J. McCarron's then-girlfriend, now-wife, into a national star.

'You quarterbacks -- you get all the good-looking women,' Musburger lustfully stated at the time.

'So if you're a youngster at Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pop.'

It seems as though Barnett is taking that advice by dating Peterson, who is a rising star in her own right after winning the Surfing America event in California this week.

Peterson is also a member of the Team USA Junior Surf Team and competes in the World Surf League.

In an interview earlier this year, the 16-year-old girl shared that she has been surfing competitively since she was 10 years old.

Peterson, who is considered one of the best surfers in the world, is ranked the number two surfer in the United States and number four worldwide in her age group.

Besides surfing, she is also a model for Under Armour, an activewear brand known for its apparel, shoes and accessories that are specifically designed for sports and fitness activities.

Peterson, who is inspired by Jesus Christ, says that surfing has taught her numerous life lessons.

'Surfing has taught me how to appreciate the lifestyle I've been blessed with – traveling all over the world, meeting amazing people, and experiencing things most people will never get to experience,' Peterson told the Chalkboardmag.com.

She also says that her most memorable surfing-related experience was when she had the chance to surf with her father, mother and three sister right at home.

'The sweetest time ever, and one that I will never forget,' she stated in June.

According to her Facebook page, Peterson has dreams of becoming a world champion surfer and helping underprivileged children.
