June 03, 2008 Spartanburg Junior Lands First Offer

By Phil Kornblut
Michigan has made a verbal offer to junior ATH Cornelius Jones (6-3 185) of Spartanburg according to his coach Freddie Brown. "Nobody knows about him," Bown said. "He's very fast. I sent a tape to them and and they offered off the tape. I've also sent a copy of the tape to USC and Clemson. He can fly." Brown didn't play football last season for the Vikings. He'll be used a quarterback this fall.

Spartanburg quarterback Jones gets offer from Michigan | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg, S.C.

Cornelius Jones hasn’t played a down for the Spartanburg Vikings varsity football team yet, but Michigan has seen enough to offer him a scholarship.

The junior quarterback received his first offer Tuesday, after Vikings coach Freddie Brown sent the Big Ten school a five-minute video of Jones from a scrimmage.

The film was enough to attract attention.

“I was shocked,” Jones said of the offer.

“After I sent the tape, no, I wasn’t surprised at all,” Brown said. “I can see who he’s going to be in this offense in two years.”

Brown said Jones’ speed helped his stock quickly rise.

In the offense that Brown wants to utilize, Jones (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) will be a mobile quarterback, similar to the kind expected to be used by head coach Rich Rodriguez at Michigan.

Jones hasn’t played football in the Spartanburg system for a couple of years after he got into some trouble, he said.

He was one of the players that Brown went out into the community and got back in school during the spring.

“He’s given me another chance, and I want to make sure I make the most of it,” Jones said.

Jones said he is working hard to learn the offense and how to be a leader for the coming season.

With the first offer on the table, Jones and Brown said they expect more to come.

“I think he’s a guy that you have to get your name in the pot now,” Brown said. “(Michigan was) the first ones to offer him, and I’ll tell you, he is appreciative. People are going to have to do some recruiting now to get him.”
