4-Star DT Antwuan Jackson Making Decision Soon; Cam Sims & Bo Scarbrough Injury Update; 15 Tide Baseballers Playing In Summer Leagues


4-Star DT Antwuan Jackson Making Decision Soon
     He's still shopping, but a decision is expected soon.

     We're talking about Alabama prospect, Antwuan Jackson. He is a 6' 2", 185-pound 4-star defensive tackle that not only Alabama, but numerous other schools want, including Auburn, Ohio State, Southern Cal, Florida, and Georgia.

     Jackson said he enjoyed his visit at Alabama and felt comfortable there. Following his visit he tweeted:


________________________________________________________________________________


I had an great Visit today at Alabama

     Jackson said he has no clear leader at present, but has spoken highly of both Alabama and Auburn. His decision is expected sometime later in the summer.

Cam Sims & Bo Scarbrough Injury Update

     Questions pop up on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites asking about the status of two of Bama's injured...Cam Sims and Bo Scarbrough. Alabama head football coach Nick Saban recently addressed that very subject.

     Saban said both are doing well in their rehabilitation involving the torn anterior cruciate ligaments. Both were injured back during spring practices. 

     The 6' 2", 240-pound Scarbrough was injured on the first day of spring practice and was looking to get some serious playing time as backup to starting running back Derrick Henry. 

     Sims was injured back in late March and was looking good at one of the starting wide receiver jobs. 

     Saban says it's still a little too early to tell when either will be able to come back. He says they won't put the players at risk, and it will be a purely medical decision as to when they return.
