Let me preface this by saying I have seen nothing regarding Alabama contacting him, but I was reading a 247 Sports article detailing the latest Bama Bumps and he was listed as another player who jumped tremendously in the rankings.
He's from Baton Rouge (Scotlanville Magnet) and apparently this was his first year playing football. Here's what the article says about him:

Anyone watch this kid play? He seems like a good candidate to blow up after the Early Signing Period after teams reset their boards.

quote:
Jonathan Horton, DE, Baton Rouge (La.) Scotlanville Magnet – The Baton Rouge area prospect is in his first year of varsity football, opting to come out for the team as a senior. Horton and college coaches are surely glad he made that decision as the 6-foot-5, 215 has burst on the recruiting scene by way of a startlingly strong debut season. A shot-blocker on a top high school basketball team, Horton owns a 6-foot-11 wingspan and pairs that unique length with some twitchy athleticism to make plays off the edge and in pursuit. You'd never think Horton was new to football in watching him play–there's no hesitation to his game. He embraces contact and is typically the one who is doling out punishment. Horton has taken official visits to Virginia and Utah and has a trip to Baylor scheduled for this weekend. The high upside prospect earns his fourth star, moving into the Top247 at No. 219 overall.

buddy has that mystery player profile pic. Scottlandville is the same school that produced Kelvin Joseph isn't it?

Dang, I wish Desmond Little got that kind of bump when he had his 14 sack senior season

I coached against Horton this year. He's in the same district as where I coach. He's a very explosive player Scotlandville did a good job mixing him around moving from end to backer. His ball get off was one of the quickest I have seen. He has extremely long arms and did a great job using them to his advantage. He is very raw and could be an elite pass rusher early. Horton needs to learn how to fit gaps and play the run better but that will come with coaching and experience.

I’m from BR and this is the first I’ve heard of him. He may be on the LSU staff’s radar, but we have a lot of other elite lineman on tap.

Would not have a clue who that is or if any good

Jonathan Horton signed with Virginia. Congrats to this young man. 
I believe his father, or someone related to him, posts on this board.

Scotlandville probably has the best high school basketball program in Louisiana right now. At 6-5, Horton has been a starter for them the past couple of years, but realized he would have a better future playing football, which is why he picked that up this year. Horton is raw, but he is tall and fast with a lot of upside. He has room to fill out while still maintaining his speed and quickness. He should be a good one for Virginia.
