“I chose Alabama because they didn’t treat me only as a football recruit. When I came in and I talked to Saban, most of the whole conversation he was talking about was just how to become a better man and how to become a better person, and that when I leave, when I graduate that I’ll be better off because of that.
They didn’t try to talk down on any other teams or any other schools or anything like that. They just showed me what they had to offer, and that’s what sold me the most.”
Jacobs finished his rookie season with 1,150 yards rushing off of 242 carries, 7 TDs, as well as 20 receptions for 166 yards.
