On his official visit to Georgia Tech Friday, three-star quarterback from McAdory High School Jay Jones committed to the Yellow Jackets after receiving a scholarship offer, according to JacketsOnline.com’s Kelly Quinlan.

Jones, the 6-foot-1, 190 commit from McCalla, Alabama, is the Yellow Jackets’ 13th commit for the 2016-2017 season.
