Having lived in Mississippi my entire life, I know how tough it is for in-state kids to get the recognition they deserve in recruiting circles. There are a lot of talented Mississippi kids and every year, it seems a few breakout their senior years and earn big time division one offers.
Looking back, Chris Jones was a low two-star defensive end from Houston, MS. By the end of his senior year, he was one of the most highly recruited players in the nation. When all was said and done, he was a 5-star, number twenty overall player in the country.
