UGA has major competition for Carver, Columbus LB | Football recruiting | ajc.com

Carver, Columbus linebacker Jarvis Jones has already collected scholarship offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Illinois, Miami and Texas.

But it’s unlikely the 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior will commit prior to the summer.

“He’s going to weigh his options after spring practice then he’ll get his options down to ten,” Carver coach Dell McGee said.

Though Alabama and Georgia are projected to have small class of 2009 recruiting classes, McGee has no plans to advise Jones to speed up the process of picking a college.

“It doesn’t put Jarvis into a pinch because it’s a college’s choice if they choose to go ahead and take all of their recruits,” he said. “But I don’t see a school not waiting on him. If they go into another direction, Jarvis will be fine with that.”

Jones, a small forward for Carver’s state playoff basketball team, visited Auburn recently.

Former Carver teammate DeRon Furr recently enrolled at Auburn and will be on the Tigers’ roster this fall. Carver’s Jarmon Fortson signed a letter of intent with Florida State last month.

But McGee doesn’t necessarily believe his former players will give Auburn or FSU the upper hand in the recruitment of Jones.

“I think he’ll make up his own mind based on which school is best suited for Jarvis Jones,” McGee said.
