Four-star 2020 CB and Texas A&M verbal commit Jaylon Jones was named defensive back MVP at Tuesday’s Rivals 100 Five-Star Challenge.
Jones (6'2/185) has been a Texas A&M pledge since early February, and in early June he reaffirmed his commitment to Jimbo Fisher’s program in early June. During Tuesday’s camp the four-star corner showed why he’s such a valuable recruit for Texas A&M, with his combination of size and athleticism proving to be too much for some wide receivers to handle. “The Texas A&M commit has legitimate size, he got his hands on receivers to knock them off routes without being too physical and he was always staying right in the pocket of the receivers,” Rivals recruiting analyst Adam Gorney wrote. According to 247Sports.com, Jones ran a 4.58 40 at The Opening regional camp in mid-March. It’s likely a safe bet that he’s shaved some time off of that sprint since then.
