Jones played his high school career at Foley High School in Foley, Alabama. He completed his senior football season in the fall of 2007. Jones participated in the High School Under Armour All-America Game, where he was recorded at 6 ft 4 in and 218 lbs. During his high school career, Julio Jones' dominating play and rare physical attributes quickly identified him as a special athlete. At the Baton Rouge Nike camp in May 2007, Jones ran a 4.45 40 yard dash, an event-best 38.6-inch vertical jump and was recorded at 6'4", 215 pounds. He once ran a 4.38, 40 yard dash when clocked at Foley High School. The buzz surrounding Jones began to swell to NFL proportions. Sports Illustrated likened him to wide receiver Terrell Owens, saying he was, "a big, physical wideout with great strength, amazing jumping ability and uncanny speed for such a big player."[10] ESPN.com compared to him to another NFL great, saying, "This guy is a unique, rare prospect for the wide receiver position with his supreme blend of size, power, speed and agility. He reminds us of a high school version of Michael Irvin, but at this stage Jones is more explosive and faster."[11] Entering February 2008, Jones was one of the most highly rated and sought after high school football recruits in the country, having been awarded a 5 star rating (the maximum) by national recruiting outlets Rivals.com[12] and Scout.com.[13] Overall, Jones was nationally ranked as the #2 overall prep prospect by ESPN[14] and #4 overall by Rivals.com,[15] being the top-ranked receiver by both. He also drew comparisons to Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald.[16] [edit]Recruitment Jones and fellow-receiver A.J. Green led a 2008 NCAA recruiting class that is dubbed as being the class that brings back the tall, physical receiver.[10] Being one of the top prep players in the country, many college teams sought his signature on a National Letter of Intent. As the recruiting process started to wind down, he narrowed down his possibilities to five schools: Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech.[17] On February 6, 2008, Jones ended months of recruiting, committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide on National Signing Day,[17] as he announced his decision live on ESPNU.

[edit]Freshman In the opening game of the 2008 season, Jones became the first true freshman receiver to start in a season opener for the Crimson Tide,[18] as he started against the Clemson Tigers in the 2008 Chick-fil-A College Kickoff. In the game, Jones caught four passes for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 34–10 rout.[19] In a 41–30 win over the #3 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, Jones had a breakout performance as he caught five passes for 94 yards, including a 22–yard touchdown reception from John Parker Wilson.[20][21] His first 100–yard receiving game occurred in the annual rivalry game versus Tennessee, as Jones had six receptions for 103 yards en route to a 29–9 victory.[22] However, two weeks later versus #16 LSU, Jones topped his previous performance with 7 catches for 128 yards.[23] His 23–yard reception in overtime set up a game-winning touchdown by John Parker Wilson,[24] giving Alabama a 27–21 victory.[25] In the 2008 SEC Championship Game, Jones caught five passes for 124 yards versus a talented Florida Gators secondary.[26] In the first quarter, Jones caught a 64–yard pass which set up the Crimson Tide's first score of the game.[27] However, Alabama fell to #2 Florida 31–20, giving the Crimson Tide their first loss of the year.[28] On December 8, the Southeastern Conference announced the annual All-SEC first team, second team, and individual awards, as voted by the Associated Press. Jones was named to the second team All-SEC, SEC Freshman of the Year,[3] and the SEC Coaches' All-Freshman Team.[4] Jones finished the regular season with 58 receptions, 924 yards, and four touchdowns.[29] [edit]Sophomore Preceding the 2009 football season, Julio Jones was voted to the All-SEC Coaches' Football Team (first team), one of only four players to be voted such unanimously (along with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Tennessee safety Eric Berry and LSU offensive lineman Ciron Black).[30] Jones and Alabama again opened their season at the Georgia Dome, this time facing Virginia Tech for the 2009 Chick-fil-A College Kickoff. However, the Crimson Tide's rushing game dominated the game, led by eventual Heisman Trophy winner and teammate, Mark Ingram. Jones finished the game with four receptions for 46 yards,[31] with Alabama winning the game 34–24.[32] His first touchdown of the season would not come until the end of September, as the Tide routed the Arkansas Razorbacks 35–7 in Tuscaloosa.[33] Jones caught a 50–yard touchdown pass from quarterback Greg McElroy, coming from a trick play, to put Alabama up 14–0 midway through the first quarter.[34] He would finish the game with two catches for 65 yards.[34] After experiencing what some writers called a "sophomore slump",[35][36] Jones's production increased during the second half of the 2009 season. In a rivalry game against LSU, Jones had his first 100–yard performance of the season.[37] He finished with four catches for 102 yards, including a 73–yard game winning touchdown in Alabama's 24–15 victory.[38][39] Alabama continued through the regular season undefeated at 12–0, working their way to a SEC Championship matchup with the Florida Gators. Jones made the first catch of the game, an 18–yard catch from McElroy.[40] The Crimson Tide won the game 32–13,[41] earning a chance to play for the BCS National Championship in the 2010 title game against the Texas Longhorns.[42][43] His 23 yards receiving led the Tide in the title game, as the passing game struggled.[44] However, the running game again took over, and led Alabama to a 37–21 victory.[45][46] [edit]
