Sparrow is looking for SEC offers and he had a chance to showcase his skills at one of the conference's programs last Saturday. How did he do? To read more, click below.




"Last year we went 16-0," stated Alex Sparrow. "We won the state championship for the last two years. In our jamboree we played North Gwinnett out of Georgia. We beat them."

Who is recruiting the talented OL?

"I've been offered by Houston. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, Purdue, Troy, and Marshall are also recruiting me."

How was Sparrow's first trip to Ole Miss?

"I loved the IPF. It was really nice. I also enjoyed the weight room. We drove around the campus and it was also really nice. I also enjoyed the game field."

How did the talented Alabama OL enjoy camp?

"It was high energy, high tempo, and very fast. We registered from nine to ten. After that we stretched and did agilities. We did forty times and vertical jumps. I measured in at 6'6 305 and ran a 5.5 forty. I also had a 28 inch vertical. After agilities we talked about academics and then went to lunch. We finished by doing one on one drills on the filed.

Did any players stand out during one on one drills?

"Cole Tischer was really good. He had some solid moves but I felt like I held my own against him."

What coaches did the Sparrow speak with during the camp?

"I spoke with Coach Dickerson and Coach Markuson. They both recruit my area and they were both happy with what they saw. They also asked who was recruiting me."

Did that talented OL leave with an offer?

"They did not offer but they said that they would keep an eye on me this year. They want me to stay in touch with them. I want to visit Ole Miss, Southern Miss and Mississippi State for sure later in the year. Overall I enjoyed my trip to Ole Miss and I can't wait to come back again."
