According to 247Sports, Jones is a 3-star OT prospect who ranks No. 87 nationally in his position. He also ranks as the No. 1,048 recruit regardless of position.
However, Jones is a massive human being. He’s playing the correct position.
After all, he’s listed at 6-foot-8, 360 pounds. If he gets his hands on a defensive player, they should have no shot at making a play.
Jones is Ohio State’s 17th commit for the Class of 2019. The Buckeyes’ class ranked No. 15 nationally and No. 3 in the Big Ten prior to his commitment.
Ohio State’s official football account on Twitter made a pretty sweet video showcasing what Jones could do (in the NCAA Football video game series that has been discontinued):
