Two Alabama prospects have made their decisions about where to play college football. Dual-threat quarterback/athlete Jerrel Jernigan of Eufala High and Dothan (Ala.) Houston Academy wide receiver Stanley Jones both have given a verbal commitment to Troy.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Jernigan also was interested in Jacksonville State and Georgia Tech.
