Football Recruiting
Alex Bars sets a high bar for offensive linemen
By Michael Chung

Standing 6-6 and weighing in at 281 pounds, Alex Bars has set the bar high for offensive line recruits. A product of Nashville (Tenn.) Montgomery Bell Academy, this 2014 prospect already has offers from Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee, UNC, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and the Buckeyes.

His father played at Notre Dame, his brothers play at Big Ten Universities: Penn State and Michigan, and the Buckeyes are recruiting this former Michigan native and current Tennessee resident hard. Does Notre Dame have an advantage? What about Penn State and Michigan?

Talking to Alex, it doesn’t take long to realize he is his own man. Though it would be nice to play with a brother, it looks like this member of the Bars family will set his own bar on where he plays and it could be for the Scarlet and Gray.

He took some time to tell The-Ozone how his recruiting is going.

Ozone: Where did you grow up? Who was your childhood favorite team?

Bars: I grew up in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Tennessee when I was eight. I have loyalties to both states. I grew up watching the Detroit Tigers as my childhood favorite sports team.

Ozone: Is football your favorite sport? When did you start playing?

Bars: I started playing football in the third grade and I would say that football and basketball are my two favorite sports. I also play baseball and compete in track throwing shot put and discus.

Great looking prospect, I really like his tape... quick physical tackle with a mean streak...

Update.......

Alex Bars (6-6, 281, OL, 2014, Nashville, Tenn.)
Bars has a brother who goes to Michigan, another brother who goes to Penn State and a father who went to Notre Dame. See a pattern here? Seems like the Bars men are their own men and do not necessarily walk in the footsteps of each other but blaze their own path. Parents would go crazy if Alex chose Ohio State but, with two sons at different schools in the Big Ten, they already are dealing with it. He is spending the holidays in Ann Arbor with his brother so the Wolverines will have an early advantage. Read his Ozone interview here.
