Coach Saban offered Jay on signing day of his Junior year.

Jay waited until the end of the recruiting process to commit and LSU no longer had room for another RB.

Jay went to A&M and shortly after they went to a 1-back system. He didn't fit their new system as well as other guys and so he went to SLU.

He was the conference player of the year while at SLU, which means he was a very good football player. And a great one for the Southland Conference.

Jay was one of the best football players I have ever coached. He was also one of the best individuals I have ever coached. He led our team to back-to-back state championships and was the most humble player we had.

In his junior year he rushed for over 1,000 yards. That's a good accomplishment for any RB in a season. It's even greater considered we gave equal carries to another RB. It's even more amazing that he actually ran for those 1,000 yards IN THE PLAY-OFFS ALONE!

Not many RB's can say they "ran wild" on John Curtis in the Superdome.

A great player and a great guy!

That decision bit him in the arse. Hope he felt the love.

Jay could flat out play. He didnt sign with LSU and Hester did. He could have had that same type of role. He was great reciever out of the back field
