Country star Sara Evans is dating former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker according to a friend of Evans.  Evans went through a nasty divorce last year from Craig Schelske while competing on ‘Dancing With The Stars’.

Evans turns 37 tomorrow and has three children with Schelske.

A friend of the country singer confirms to PEOPLE that Evans and Jay Barker, a former football star at the University of Alabama who now hosts a sports radio show in Birmingham, are an item. “They are dating,” the friend tells PEOPLE.

Barker was one of the most successful quarterbacks in Alabama history.  He led the team to the 1992 National Championship.  He has the highest winning percentage of any quarterback ever to play at Bama.  His college record was 35-2-1.

Nix you should be proud. That is about as good as a Bama graduate can do.  He might finally make it into the Crimson Tide Hall of Fame now.
