Kenneth Santa Marina (New Orleans, La./McDonough 35) will be one of the most sought after offensive line prospects in the 2013 class. This Bayou State standout made an unofficial visit to Alabama for their junior day yesterday.
“Alabama offered me today,” Santa Marina said. “I was surprised they offered this early. I loved it. Everyone greeted me. All the coaches new me and I think I fit in pretty well. I met other players and we got to know each other. I feel great there and I like the academics.”
Santa Marina, 6-foot-4 and 326-pounds, made it to Baton Rouge two weeks ago for their junior day as well.
“That was great,” Santa Marina said. “The coaches are great. That’s a place I have been going since the 8th grade. It’s like a second home. They have not offered but I will go back in February. I will go talk with coach [Les] Miles. I know a lot of people that go there. Many are from New Orleans and my team. I am very familiar with the team. LSU feels like at home.”
So does Santa Marina favor LSU over Alabama or the Crimson Tide over the Tigers?
“I don’t know,” Santa Marina said. “I really like these two teams. I will take recruiting day by day and see what happens. I am no sure who offers and will love to see who does. You never know what will happen out there. Anything is possible.”
