Soon, the days of rushing for 20 yards on big time opponents will be over.

Big, big pickup! Jones is a great athlete and a great person, very impressive young man! Welcome aboard Barrett!!!! :biggrin2: :BigA:

His reported 4.9 forty is amazing for a guy his size. I have watched some of his video and he looks like a man among boys. I think he will be an OL in the Justin Britt mode. He has a rough and tough aggressive edge or mean streak to him.

I thought I'd throw out another FYI on Barrett. His grandfather is former UNA HBC Bill Jones.

He led the Lions to the 1979 NCAA Division II National Championship with a 22-9 record and had five seasons with 20 wins or more. He took UNA to six NCAA national tournaments, with five regional crowns (1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1984) and four Final Four appearances (1977,1979,1980, 1984).

Yeah, his athleticism is very impressive. It's not hard to see why he was so coveted at T. Give him a couple of years in the S&C program and he'll be an absolute animal! He and T. Love could make quite the formidable tackle duo in a few years. :BigA:
