per Mobile Press-Register.

AUBURN -- Former Mobile prep standout Phelon Jones has received a release from LSU and hopes to transfer to Auburn, his father told the Press-Register Friday.

"He wants to come back home and we want him to come back home," said Tony Jones, who coached his son at McGill-Toolen High and now coaches at Faith Academy. "You only get to do this once, but if it all works out, he wants to go to Auburn."

Jones received his release from LSU this morning and faxed the paperwork to the Auburn compliance office, his father said. Jones hasn't discussed transferring with Auburn coaches, but left a message at the football office and hopes to arrange a visit next week.


"We followed the rules to the letter of the law," Tony Jones said.

Jones said his son enjoyed his time at LSU, where he redshirted in 2007 and started two games at cornerback in 2008. He emphasized that his family "thinks the world" of LSU coach Les Miles.

i wouldnt go that far, i think he was a good corner..but with Peterson and the talent from B.Taylor, he wouldnt see the feild as much as he should..so leave, and thats what he did..it wont hurt us in any way

He made a good decision and i think we may see more of this unfortuetly..This is what happens when we have TO MUCH talent..guys get overlooked because we are so stacked..ex: Jon Williams, Ron Brooks, Phelon...but to make a correction i think Brooks will have to see the feild

Well, if he does go to Auburn, can you tigerbait a another tiger? I'm confused now.

Sorry to see him go. I'm sure he's very talented but this there's a lot of depth at LSU and it's kind of a good problem to have.

I am glad that he originally chose LSU and put in two hard years of work and dedication and represented LSU well. I wish him nothing but the best, except when he playes LSU. Good Luck Phelon
