USC Recruiting 2016: Velus Jones Profile

USC football just keeps racking up the big time recruits, landing wide receiver Velus Jones a 5'11 181lb speedster out of Saraland, Alabama. Jones hauled in 51 catches, 1,180 yards, and nine touchdowns as a junior at Saraland High School this past season.

Jones is a big body receiver that has top end speed, running a 4.4 40. Jones verbally committed to USC over top schools such as UCLA, Florida, Cincinnati and others. The big time recruit is ranked as the nation's 64th wide receiver and the 11th prospect in Alabama's 2016 class.

Velus will join a talented 2016 recruiting class that contains big time commits such as offensive lineman Frank Martin II, all-purpose back Melquise Stovall, and outside linebacker Mique Juarez.
