"He rushed for 3,032 yards and 35 touchdowns his senior season at Napoleonville (La.) Assumption High School and a career was born. The Giants selected him in the fourth round of the 2005 draft out of Southern Illinois. At 6-foot-4, 265 pounds, he’s developed into one of the NFL’s most physical backs."
I know its ancient history but DAMN!! Imagine what he would've done here!!!

i think he made a 9 on the act.

He wanted him at LB

He didn't do shite at Auburn. Saban wanted to convert him to defense if I remember right.

Jacobs is pretty dumb. That's just the honest answer. He never would of been able to keep him eligible.

I think the problem Jocobs had was academics.Had to go to JUCO.

ahhh...I didn't know the back story surrounding why he didn't come here...oh well

Jacobs hated LSU and it was well known that he would probably leave the state.

Cause hes not as good as LSU fans make him out to be. Now that he coaches at bama a lot of morons here think he is the greatest.

Southern Illinois isn't JUCO - they just have low standards academically - I should know....I was a Saluki for a while...I am not that smart

Saban wanted him at LB. Tuberville wanted him as a RB.
He was 3rd behind Williams and Brown. Man AU was stacked at RB then.

He was only there for a year, and he was in the same backfield as Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown. He didn't get that many carries, but when he did he averaged over 6 yards a carry.

I know he came in here in '03 running his piehole about what he was going to do to our defense...as I recall he finished w/ something like 3 yds on 2 carries.

Funny I worked with a guy that had three degrees from Southern Illinois. Now it is all coming together.

Brandon Jacobs had to have a dozen tutors and 6 weeks of preparation just to spell academic eligibility when he came out of high school.

Dude was not the brightest. You get a 7 for answering B to every question. I think he got a 8. You also get 2 points for just signing your name.

Saban told him he is better suited to play defensive end in his 4-3 at LSU. He also told him backup DE(passrushers) in the NFL often make more than the starting RB and have longer careers.
Auburn offered at RB, but asked him to switch positions after a few years there. He switch to Southern his senior year instead of swtiching to defense.

He had to drop out of Assumption High & take the GED after Football Season. He would have had to graduate from Assumption with a Special Education Curriculum diploma.
In other words, he was in class for kids with mild-moderate mental retardation. He was taking Special Ed classes.
The guy had to go to JUCO, & by the time he got out, he still couldn't get eligible anywhere but...You guessed it: Auburn.
