SEC school is the leader to sign Heritage’s Justin Jones

Heritage tight end Justin Jones only has one official visit scheduled, and it’s the same school he has been talking to all along.

“I think Vanderbilt wants me,” Jones said. “I went up there for the Florida-Vanderbilt game and had a real good time.”

The 6-foot-8, 252-pound Jones said Vanderbilt head coach Bobby Johnson and assistant coach Des Kitchings are making an in-home visit on Jan. 28, two days before his official visit to Vanderbilt.

Jones said Vanderbilt will most likely put him at defensive end even though he mostly played tight end in high school.

Jones said he has also been in contact with Michigan State and feels they may be the next to offer.

“I don’t know what they are going to do,” he said. “It’s getting kind of late in the game.”

Jones was an early commitment to Kentucky, but backed off to consider other schools.

Justin, if you qualify to get into Vandy, go for it. You can’t go wrong with that degree.
