The Yahtzee tweets started rolling in a bit late on Sunday night, signaling the Rebels had landed a commitment. The twitter handle of 2017 Baton Rouge, Louisiana, defensive end Bryan Jones confirmed that it was he who had jumped in the boat. Jones’s 247sports profile lists him as a 6’5 240-pound strong-side defensive end, with more than 25 scholarship offers. His composite ranking backs the offer list. He is noted as a four star prospect, 215th overall, sixth-best at his position and the eighth best player in Louisiana.
Despite holding such offers from the likes of Baylor, Missouri, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, USC and others, one offer is notably missing.
