Jones Has Clemson As A Favorite
By Eric Guimaraes

LB Jarvis Jones (6-3 220) of Columbus, GA has listed Clemson in his top seven schools. Jones says the Tigers were one of the first schools to offer him and have stayed in close contact showing him a lot of interest. Billy Napier is his recruiter for Clemson. Jarvis loves to play football. He says, "I'm one of those guys that loves the game of football. I go hard every play and I love to hit people." He still feels he can improve. "I want to be a better student of the game. I want to read offenses better." As a junior, he had 157 tackles, 26 for loss, two interceptions, and three sacks. He also scored two touchdowns on special teams returning a blocked punt and a kick off fumble recovery for scores. His top seven are Clemson, Miami, Florida, Georgia, Texas, LSU, and Auburn. He has visited Clemson and liked what he saw. He felt they were and up and coming program and a good academic school. He liked the facilities but then said, "all big time programs have nice facilities." He has not decided where he will take his official visits and says he will not likely commit until signing day. Jones runs a sub 4.6 40.
