EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State linebacker Greg Jones
EAST LANSING, MI (AP) -- could have turned pro after last season, when he was an
All-American as a junior. Instead, he stuck around.
      Now, there's no denying his status as one of the nation's most
respected defensive players.
      Jones was selected as an All-American again earlier this month,
the only player to make the AP first team each of the last two
seasons, and his return was a big reason the seventh-ranked
Spartans won a share of the Big Ten title.
      They'll play 15th-ranked Alabama on Saturday in the Capital One
Bowl, giving Jones exactly what he wanted when he came back to
school - a chance to go out on a high note.
