Alabama has beat out Georgia for another top 2013 in-state prospect.

Tyren Jones, a 5-foot-8, 190-pound running back from Alpharetta, chose the Crimson Tide on Tuesday over offers from Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others.

Jones, considered by most publications as the state’s top running back, led Class AAAAA in rushing last season after amassing 2,375 yards and 34 touchdowns for state runner-up Walton High School.

Alabama also holds a verbal commitment from the state’s top-ranked linebacker — Reuben Foster of Troup County — who the Bulldogs are still actively pursuing.

The Bulldogs are expected to go head-to-head with the Crimson Tide for multiple Peach State prospects, including the nation’s top-rated prospect in Robert Nkemdiche of Grayson, the state’s top-rated defensive tackle in Dooly County’s Montravius Adams and one of the state’s most electrifying running backs in Norcross’ Alvin Kamara.

Without Jones on board, the Bulldogs still have a plethora of targets at running back, including Kamara, Elbert County’s Tyshon Dye, Grayson’s Wayne Gallman and Florida native Greg Bryant.
