Published:
The Auburn-Alabama football rivalry is one of the greatest battles in all of sports.
Any chance fans get to one-up one another is taken in stride. Well, Alabama fans might relish an upcoming opportunity to do so.
Blinn Community College Buccaneers defensive lineman Antwuan Jackson Jr. is being courted by Alabama. Just Wednesday, Jackson was offered a scholarship by the Crimson Tide. Ohio State also offered him a place on the Buckeye football team. Auburn blocked Jackson from transferring to Ohio State this offseason.

He was a top 10 defensive tackle coming out of high school and many schools are still vying for his services on the line. The crazy part, he used to be an Auburn Tiger.
Jackson transferred from Auburn in May after redshirting his freshman season. It’s been reported by multiple outlets that Jackson wanted to transfer to one of a few different Division 1 schools, but Auburn did not grant his wish. Jackson will play the 2017 with Blinn and will likely find himself at a perennial powerhouse in 2018.
