Burges RB Tavorus Jones receives offer from University of Alabama

EL PASO, Texas -- You can't say El Paso doesn't have the talent when it comes to football.

Back in April, Burges High School running back Tavorus Jones received an offer from the University of Texas, but that was only a sign of big things to come.

Thursday, Jones tweeted that he had received another division one offer, this time from the University of Alabama.

The Crimson Tide, led by head coach Nick Saban, are a powerhouse in the SEC having won 17 national titles in its history.

The last national championship for Alabama was in 2017.

Jones is entering his junior season at Burges, but top programs across the country are already taking notice, and rightfully so.

During his sophomore season Jones put up big numbers both as a running back and also a receiver.

Jones rushed for more than a thousand yards and scored 15 touchdowns, but he was also productive through the air.

Jones had 498 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.

He has plenty of time to decided where he wants to play at the next level, but without question more offers will be coming his way.

Jones has offers from the University of Texas and Southern Methodist University (SMU).
