The first practice for Alabama in preparing for its College Football Playoff matchup with Oklahoma starts Friday, and for one player in particular, this is a moment where he will be stamped as an all-around legendary individual.
Even in being a young father and facing the challenges he had as a child, running back Josh Jacobs could not have imagined a better scenario than what he’s witnessed in Tuscaloosa.
During his time, he has gone from a three-star prospect to the most complete back on the Crimson Tide’s roster and a fan favorite. His blend of toughness, leadership, determination and the many things he does on a field gives Alabama an element that very few others possess.
