During the 2008 recruiting cycle, Julio Jones was a 5-Star recruit and was ranked as the No.1 wide receiver in the nation. His commitment to the Tide put coal in a train that has not stopped steamrolling down the tracks. The Tide’s 2008 class also included Heisman winner Mark Ingram, Mark Barron, Courtney Upshaw, Dont’a Hightower, Brad Smelley, Terrance Cody, Robert Lester and Barrett Jones. This class was Saban’s first and finish at No. 1. The success this class had on the field left a prolonged impact on Alabama. Jones’ ability to be influential as the leader of that class and those teams made him an Alabama legend.
