Wow, unless I missed something he's the only college football player on their top 22 list.

You did miss something. Jaquizz Rodgers from Oregon State at #5.

Thanks for the link Millie. Julio has proven he belongs on the field AND mentioned among the elite in the country. Many more awards to follow.

Is this portion true also?

"The top-rated receiver in the 2008 recruiting class, Jones became the first true freshman to start a season-opener in Crimson Tide history."

Hate to answer a question with a question, but didn't Hightower start the first game also?

This is incorrect. Just to name a recent few, Andre Smith started the season opener. Pretty sure Rolando McClain was a starter day one.

I'm wondering if they didn't mean at the WR position. But I'm not sure that would be correct either.
