Notre Dame got some good news early Wednesday morning with when Florida linebacker Jonathan Jones selected Notre Dame over Michigan at his 10:30 announcement – especially after Notre Dame lost out on 5-star LB Ben Davis earlier this morning.
Jones, a one time Michigan commitment, had been trending towards Notre Dame for a little while making his announcement not too surprising while at the same time reassuring for Notre Dame fans beings as Jones was considered the only “sure thing” heading into Signing Day.
At 5’11”, 220 lbs, Jones checks in a bit undersized. In fact, that might be the only knock on Jones’ game and if he were an inch or two taller, he probably would be a no-brainer 4-star linebacker as evidenced by his offer list.
