Ernest Jones
LB Ernest Jones IV of Waycross, GA visited USC for a spring practice, for the spring game and plans to return next week for a more in depth visit with the academic side of the school. With all that interest in the Gamecocks, it’s no surprise then that Jones now favors the Gamecocks over some other SEC schools. His mind is not quite made up but he does plan to announce a commitment by or on May 5th.
“I’m loving South Carolina,” Jones said. “I’m liking everything. I’ll get a good education if I go there and get to play big-time football, so I’m really getting the best of both worlds. They have explained to me how I will fit on the depth chart. They said they need me. It’s going to be a good opportunity to go play under Coach Hutzler and Coach Muschamp so, I’m excited Have I made up my mind? Not yet.”
Jones plans to visit Florida next week and he also wants to visit Ole Miss and Tennessee. But the Gators present the greatest threat.
“Florida was my dream school coming up and I’ve been waiting to get there and visit and see how I would fit in there, if possible,” Jones said.
Florida will have to show Jones a lot to turn him away from the Gamecocks. He was zoned in on the defense when watching that practice and the spring game and definitely saw where he could fit in.
“Their defense plays hard you can tell and Skai Moore is good,” he said. “I usually watch him the whole time because they say that I will be playing in his position. I study him to see how they have him do it. I like South Carolina’s defense.”
Jones picked up an offer Thursday from Tennessee. He also has offers from Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Duke, Western Kentucky, Oregon, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech and Georgia State.
