Texas defensive lineman joins Mizzou's rising 2021 class

Missouri added another piece to its future defensive line on Saturday, landing a pledge from three-star defensive end Jonathan Jones from McKinney, Texas.

Jones, rated the nation's No. 40 strongside defensive end by 247Sports.com, had recently narrowed his final choices to Baylor, Colorado, Missouri Nebraska and Texas. At McKinney, Texas, High School last season, a Class 6A school in Texas, Jones had 55 tackles, 16 for losses, eight sacks and four pass breakups.

Mizzou's staff has made the defensive line a priority in its last two classes with McKinney becoming the fourth D-lineman to commit to the 2021 class.
