April 15, 2007  Rivals250 OL to attend A-Day  For one Alabama
legacy, the football recruiting process isn't as clear-cut as
one would imagine. With this Rivals250 member approaching
double-digit offers, 6-foot-5, 270-pound Barrett Jones is still
keeping his options wide-open despite his family ties to
Tuscaloosa.  "I tell everyone who asks the same thing. Just
because my dad played at Alabama doesn't mean that is where I am
going to college," said Jones, who recently added scholarship
offers from Miami and North Carolina.  Jones' father, Rex, is a
former Alabama basketball player from the early '80's, playing
with Tide legend Ennis Whatley. Jones' Alabama bloodlines also
include the bulk of his relatives that still live in the Muscle
Shoals area and a family lake house.
