Click here for linkTUSCALOOSA, Ala. – For two guys who are polar opposites in a lot of ways, Barrett Jones and William Vlachos are the ultimate combination on Alabama’s offensive line.
The truth is that they’re great friends, even though they both revel in getting under the other’s skin.
They room together on the road, quarrel over who gets to control the television remote and make fun of the other’s interests.
When Jones is away from football, he’s liable to be playing the violin or lining up his next mission trip.
When Vlachos is away from football, he’s probably going to be in camouflage and sitting in a deer stand.
When they’re both on the field – Jones at left tackle and Vlachos at center – they’re one of the premier offensive line duos in all of college football.
“You’re talking about two guys who are great people, extremely intelligent and are going to be very, very successful in life at whatever they choose to do,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “They love playing football and are football junkies. They like to prepare and probably understand what they’re supposed to do as well as the coaches.
