Alabama DB Jones narrows list down to four : Lindys Sports
At 5-11, 185, the defensive back already has offers from Auburn, Southern Miss, Florida, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Clemson, Ole Miss, UCLA, Texas A&M, Iowa, Louisville and Georgia Tech, and just recently picked up an offer from Alabama as well. There were rumors several months back about Jones pulling the trigger early and committing to Auburn, but Christion put that gossip to rest by naming his top 4 — and the Tigers weren’t on it.
“I’m still going to give Auburn some consideration, but from now until the end of football season I will give most of my attention to
Alabama, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and
Florida. I have visited all of those four schools this summer, and they are the ones I will take my official visits to in the fall,” Jones said.
Jones on Alabama:
“The number one reason I like Alabama is Coach Nick Saban. Playing for him would give me a chance to improve my man coverage and maximize my potential. Playing for UA would probably be my best chance at getting to the NFL. I play DB and he coaches the DBs at Alabama. He has the experience of putting people in the league and graduating his players. He is a great guy with a lot of character.
“Coach [Jeremy] Pruitt would be my position coach. He's smart and he knows how to break their terminology down so I can understand it. I think the entire staff at Alabama is very good. Coach Sal [Sunseri] is recruiting me and we have a great relationship. The coaches talk to me about coming in as a corner. I love the campus in Tuscaloosa — it’s probably my favorite campus. And I grew up a Tide fan. Alabama may not have much experience in their defensive backfield, but they are stacked at that position. I believe I have the talent to come in and play fairly early.”
