"Sims won't stop talking about Alabama," said Hailes, who is ranked as the nation's No. 13 defensive tackle prospect. "He's really trying to talk me into going down there with him. He talks about how great it would be to see me sack the other quarterback and set him up with good field position. He's definitely excited about Alabama."
"Right now I'd say my top five are Tennessee, LSU, Virginia Tech, Penn State and NC State. Those are my favorites but I'd really love to play anywhere in the SEC for sure. Right now, that's where the best players in college football are. It would be a dream come true to play anywhere in the SEC."
