Other notable recipients consist of Tim Tebow and Payton Manning and some of this year’s finalists included Baylor QB Nick Florence and Notre Dame stand-out Manti Te’o.

Barrett Jones is a three-time All-American and holds a steady 4.0 grade average at the university.

On Saturday, January 7^th Barrett and his teammates will take on Notre Dame for the BCS National Championship. This will be his third time competing for the trophy. Good thing is… he’s helped win it the past two times he’s tried for it! ROLL TIDE!
