The No. 2 ranked player in the state of Illinois, Jones has offers from Florida, Nebraska and Ole Miss among others. The 6-4, 284-pound defensive tackle had yet to make his official visit to East Lansing.
He gave his verbal commitment to the Spartans in June.
He was the second-highest rated defensive lineman prospect in Mark Dantonio’s 2016 recruiting class, which ranks 14th in the country.
