The University of Alabama landed its eighth commitment for 2013 when Marietta, Ga., running back Tyren Jones chose the Crimson Tide on Tuesday night. Jones visited Tuscaloosa for the Tide’s junior day over the weekend and picked up an offer.
"I called Kirby Smart, my recruiting coach, and he was all excited, and then he put me on the phone with the running backs coach and Nick Saban," Jones said. "They all told me they think I made a great decision, and they asked me to give them a big Roll Tide.
"I already had a top five, but when I visited there, I just felt that vibe. I felt comfortable with everyone there, and I feel like they would help me grow as a man."
