In 2001, we signed Joseph Addai, Shyrone Carey, and Ryan Gilbert. Jacobs ended up at Coffeyville CC. He was 4A offensive MVP at Assumption. I'm assuming he didn't qualify is that correct? Or did he just get overlooked by everyone before going to Auburn then S. Illinois.

Thought it was because LSU wanted him to play defense.

Saban wanted him to play LB. He was ours to lose, but the mighty midget did not want to even hear about giving him a shot at RB. He went to Auburn and they had Cadillac and Brown so he moved on.

He didn't qualify and actually took some special ed classes in high school. In Juco he tore it up but most schools including LSU wanted him to play DE/TE. Toby always wanted to play RB and it looks like all of the choices he made throughout his career were right ones. His life and how he grew up is a success story.
I am happy for him. He sure would have looked good trucking people in purple and gold though.

I was told by a reliable source that Jacobs couldn't spell his name, thus no signing.

I went to high school with him. Saban wanted him to move to DE, but he was determined to play RB. He was actuallt leaning towards Nebraska but he couldn't qualify. So he went to Coffeyville CC, Aubrun, then S. Illinois.

my cousin went to school with him.
he is technically retarded by scholastic standards.
coaches would tell him "run that way" in HS.
glad me made it big.
