Ran into Jerrel Jernigan tonight…
December 31, 2007
Ran into Troy wideout Jerrel Jernigan tonight at the Ozark Civic Center covering basketball. His high school, Eufaula, is playing Bullock County in the Dothan Progress/Dothan Eagle/Southern Star Holiday Prep Classic tonight (and winning 35-30 in the third quarter).
He had two Troy coaches calling him to see if he was going to Auburn with offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, which surprised him a little bit. He said a rumor got started that he was. Obviously he’s still at Troy. He doesn’t know who the OC will be, but they feel pretty good about what all is coming back, especially at the receiver corps. He said he knew coach Neal Brown was out in California recruiting, and that he feels good about the quarterbacks coming back - Levi Brown can really throw it, he said, and he liked playing with Jamie Hampton in the Alabama-Mississippi all-star game prior to last season. Tanner Jones has a pretty good arm, too, but is best when he’s not trying to throw it 110 mph.
Just something to throw out there for potentially my last blog post of 2007.
