5-star DT Jarron Jones still listing UNC

Posted Aug 8, 2011
Jarron Jones enters his senior year at Aquinas in a remarkable, rare and very public position. At least 20 years have gone by since a high school football player in the area has attracted the level of interest from college coaches as Jones, a defensive tackle. At 6-feet, 6½ inches and 290 pounds, Jones is larger than some professional players.There are five schools on Jones' list: Penn State, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, Louisville and North Carolina. Jones gave a verbal commitment to Penn State in April but has maintained that he wanted to keep his options open. (Rochester Democrat & Chronicle)
