Alabama Football Recruiting Offers of the Week

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It was a big week for skill position players on both sides of the ball this week, as Alabama continued its recruiting efforts after spring practice.

The Crimson Tide offered a handful of those this week, including one who could potentially play right away out of junior college.

It also got a big head start on a very young up-and-coming prospect.

Let’s break down all of the offers of the week.

Keiondre Jones, 2019 prospect from Hogansville, Georgia

The pandering when LSU offered Dylan Moses two years ago seems like a thing of the past. Recruiting is continuously getting to be an earlier and earlier process.

Alabama showed that this isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

The Crimson Tide have offered Jones, a 14-year-old Georgia native, with a scholarship after he’s already made five visits to Tuscaloosa so far, according to Chad Simmons of Scout.com.

Right now, Jones stands 6’3” and weighs 254 pounds. He could end up projecting as an offensive tackle. For now, Jones says his favorite player is former Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley.

"I want to do everything I can to maximize my size and my ability,” Jones said, per Simmons. “Not everybody has the size I was blessed with, so I want to use that to be great. I have the drive, I will work hard, and I just want to do what it takes to be the best I can be."

For now, obviously, he has a long way to go before he has to make a final decision on college.

"At Alabama, I like their football of course -- it is one of the best, but I like more than that," Jones said. "The facilities are great, I like the coaches and the people there, but I also like their academics. They are supposed to have a good engineering program too, so I like that about Alabama.

"Alabama is a top school and everything they do and have is great," he continued. "It is exciting to have an offer from them already. It will make me just work harder."

Travis Homer, 2016 3-star running back from West Palm Beach, Florida

Alabama made Homer its 10th running back offer of the 2016 class on Tuesday. Nick Saban called him and gave Homer the good news.

"Coach Saban told me that he saw my film and he liked my ability," Homer said, according to Drew Champlin of AL.com. "He was talking to me about the football program and the education. I was extremely excited."

Homer is only rated a 3-star prospect right now, but he holds offers from several top schools, including Florida State, Florida and Miami.

The 5’11”, 195-pound back says he can do it all.

"I believe I'm more of a balanced back," Homer said, per Champlin. "I have speed and I can also put my shoulders down and run over someone if I need to."
