Wednesday is a big day on the road for Florida football’s outside linebackers coach Mike Peterson as he continues to log the miles on the recruiting trail after a stop in Jacksonville. Among a trio of prep prospects on his agenda for the day is current Georgia Bulldogs commit [autotag]Demello Jones[/autotag] out of Swainsboro (Georgia).
The 6-foot-1-inch, 176-pound defensive back committed to the ‘Dawgs back in March but has since left the door open for other suitors. He used that opportunity to swing through to see the Miami Hurricanes and Tennessee Volunteers last month with official visit season still on the horizon. Jones has an OV planned in Knoxville during the last weekend of June and the Alabama Crimson Tide has also been in the conversation for a visit next month.
Jones is ranked No. 90 overall and No. 7 at safety nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at No. 83 and 11 at cornerback nationally.
