Georgia football wanted 5-star OT to sign on Early Signing Day, but he wants to visit Auburn first.

According to a report from Chad Simmons of Rivals, one of Georgia’s top commits does not plan on signing in the Early Signing Period.

Out of Lithonia, Georgia, Jones is a 6-5, 275 pounder who possesses great length for the position.

According to Simmons, Georgia tried to get Jones to sign, sending him the papers needed on the first day of the early period, but Jones wants to take his time.

Simmons reports that Jones will visit both Auburn and Georgia in January.

Jones visited Auburn twice in the month of November.
