Head coach Tom Herman has had great success recently with recruiting prospects out of Dallas,Texas.
He still has a chance to land another one of the area’s top recruits in three-star defensive end Jonathan Jones. The McKinney product has great size at 6-4, 230-pounds and is slowly becoming a hot name on the 2021 recruiting trail.
Jones has received offers from many well-respected programs such as Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State and several Big 12 schools.
Currently labeled a top 100 recruit in the state by 247Sports, Jones announced his top five schools on Friday.
Thank you to all the schools that put time in recruiting me and with that being said these are my top 5 schools. @MHS_FB_Recruits #wawg #wawn pic.twitter.com/F6aLeCDdJH

Although Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State also extended an offer to Jones, Baylor and Texas were the only Big 12 programs to appear on his list of remaining schools.
Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska will also be competing to receive a commitment from Jones. He helped McKinney High School to a Texas 6A D-II second-round playoff appearance as a junior and compiled 55 tackles with 16 tackles for loss, six sacks, and four pass breakups.
