NO. 5 BARRETT JONES
Alabama senior center
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 305 lbs
Why he's No. 5: What Jones lacks in raw athletic ability he makes up for with smarts. Jones can play just about anywhere on the offensive line and has. This year he makes the move from left tackle to center where he will anchor a line that will be counted on to produce a powerful running game.
College career: Jones was redshirted his first year, then spent the next two years starting 25 games at right guard. Last year, he was moved to left tackle and was named the Outland Trophy winner and a unanimous All-American.
Fun fact: Jones' dad Rex played basketball at Alabama from 1982-84.
