The scholarship offers are trickling in for Johnson City (N.Y.) OL Daquan Jones. He’s enjoying the attention and hoping more offers come soon.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive guard has already received written scholarship offers from Boston College and Maryland, and he said schools like Florida and Southern Cal have been corresponding with him through the mail, too. He said that he and his dad agree that if the Gators offered him, it would be “nice”, as he put it to Sporting News Today.

“I’m getting letters from all of these schools, and I’m filling out applications and getting my name out there further,” Jones told SN Today. “I got my first offer from Boston College. I went there for a camp and (assistant) coach (Jeff) Comissiong called my coach afterwards and said it’s possible they might offer a scholarship. Then Sept. 1 came around and I got that letter. It was a nice day.”

Jones is also hearing quite a bit from Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, UCLA and UConn. The guard is listed as one of the top 250 players in the nation’s class of 2010, so he’s bound to get even more attention this summer. He told SN Today what he feels his strengths are.

“I think coaches like me because I’m big, and I get the compliment a lot that I’m quick on my feet and I’ll do what the coach tells me to do,” Jones said. “I really don’t know yet when I’ll make a decision, before my senior season or after it. It’s stressful. People ask you where you want to go, and right now I’m still not sure where I’d want to go."
