Alabama LB with four offers

Jake Holland received two more verbal scholarship offers. These two are from Vanderbilt and South Alabama. Holland, from Pelham (Ala.) High School, also has written offers from Duke and UAB. He will also take the opportunity this spring to visit a number of schools. He recently visited Winston-Salem and Wake Forest and came home very impressed.

"I went for their Junior Day," Holland said. "I liked the campus and the coaches are good guys. They paid a lot of attention to me as well.

"UCLA has been asking for transcripts and is Stanford to recruit me as well."

Holland will be attending a junior day at Alabama this weekend (2-21) and says he will also go to one at Vanderbilt. Other possible junior days for Holland are South Carolina, Stanford, Oklahoma State, Boston College, Central Florida, Southern Miss, and Western Kentucky.

"It's going to be a pretty busy few months. I have also been working out with my team and we are looking good. I recently ran a 4.56 (forty)."

Holland, 6-1.5 and 225 pounds, recorded 112 tackles this past season. He will be one of the top linebacker recruits from the state of Alabama for the class of 2010.
