The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for four-star defensive end recruit Marvin Jones Jr., who plays football for American Heritage High School in Florida. Marvin Jones Jr. is the son of former Florida State football star Marvin Jones.
His father, Marvin Jones, was a first-round pick for the New York Jets. Jones recorded over 1,000 total tackles over his NFL career, which spanned from 1993-2003.
Jones Jr. will look to create his own legacy in college football. He is a member of the class of 2022. He won a state championship for American Heritage in 2020.
Marvin Jones Jr. has received scholarship offers from elite programs like Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State, USC, Tennessee, Florida State, Miami and more. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound linebacker would project as a 3-4 outside linebacker in Georgia’s system.
