Alabama may soon add some more competition for its starting kicker job.
The Crimson Tide is looking into Temple graduate transfer Austin Jones, who will visit Alabama this weekend, his high school coach, Andy Johnson, told AL.com.
Jones was widely regarded as one of the top kickers in the American Athletic Conference before suffering an ACL injury midway through the 2016 season. While he was recovered for this past season, Temple went with a younger kicker who had kicked well enough in 2016 after Jones got hurt that he earned second-team all-conference recognition.
So Jones decided to leave Temple following the season and Alabama is one of the primary schools being considered as a transfer option.
