ESPN.com's 2012 All-America Team
Barrett Jones
Center | AlabamaBarrett Jones isn't one to fail. He started all 14 games at right guard for Alabama in 2009 as a redshirt freshman. A season later, he was voted first-team All-SEC. In 2011, he became the starting left tackle and was a unanimous All-America selection while playing three other positions throughout the season: left guard, right tackle and center. He took home the Outland Trophy, set it on his dresser and pondered the NFL. He passed, choosing to come back to Tuscaloosa to see if he could master playing center full time. Coaches and players think the transition will be smooth, and why not? He hasn't failed yet.
