Artavius Jones, Four-Star Defensive Lineman, Joins Miami Hurricanes' 2024 Recruiting Class

The Miami Hurricanes stayed hot on the recruiting trail Friday, as four-star defensive lineman Artavius Jones has announced his commitment to their 2024 recruiting class. The commitment from the 6-foot-3, 280-pound lineman follows closely on the heels of another major addition to the Hurricanes' class. Jojo Trader, another high-profile recruit, pledged his commitment to the Hurricanes just 24 hours before Jones. The back-to-back announcements have injected a surge of optimism to Miami’s recruiting outlook after a recent stretch of disappointments.

The interior defensive lineman from Blounstown, Florida, has decided to don the Hurricanes' orange and green, overlooking interest from other prominent programs like Florida State, Tennessee, and UCF. Jones, a highly sought-after talent on the defensive line, is currently ranked as the #165 overall player in the nation, according to the 247sports composite rankings. He is rated as the #20 Defensive Lineman in the country and the #25 player in the state of Florida.

With Jones' commitment, the tally of new recruits for Miami’s 2024 class rises to 18. More notably, he is the first defensive tackle to pledge his allegiance to the Hurricanes in this recruiting cycle. He will certainly be joined by multiple others at his position for the cycle as well.

Jones officially visited the University of Miami on the weekend of June 23rd before making his announcement today.

I don't think he leaves Lousville unless something crazy happens.

I would throw the bank or just get him to visit

fwiw, mario is gonna fix the DT recruiting next year the way he did the WR recruiting. hiring a new person and sending joe back to Honolulu

Should have done it last year. But you know Cristobal, he'll eventually learn to land an airplane only after crashing into the side of a mountain a couple times.

Might be a year too late. DT is not an immediate flip and overhaul type of position. There’s fewer elite HS DT’s than any position.

Been a long time since we signed an elite DT out of HS
