Recruitment

One morning in February, from seemingly out of nowhere, Jones, along with fellow Tennessean Taylor Groves, pledged to Michigan football. Groves didn’t stick (he flipped to Ole Miss) but Jones stuck around, though hometown Tennessee made perpetual, persistent overtures. He took an unofficial visit to Knoxville on Nov. 13, but also made a couple visits to Ann Arbor.

Jones projects as a safety with the Wolverines.

Readiness Level

Could challenge in year one, but likely will take a year.
