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 saw Jalen Carter play in high school. My son played offensive tackle for coral gables senior high and they went to Apopka to play. Jalen Carter punted, kicked off, played fullback, and basically rag dolled every high school offensive lineman that was in his way. very impressive.. artavious' film is like looking at the same dude.

Biggest possible riser if he hits his ceiling. Can be a top 20 overall pick if he stays healthy and progresses on a typical path for DT.

Jones looks faster than JC but I would say JC looks a bit stronger. If his strength translates to cfb we got a beast

Not a very vocal kid and if I remember correctly he didn’t camp much was middle of the pack 4 star til the end and people saw him play and he became a 5 star. Wanna see a gem look at Jordan Davis he was a low 3 star I was begging Miami to recruit

Jalen Carter was a composite top 10 player. The exact opposite.

On Jones, his athleticism is off the charts which makes me wonder why was he not pursued by the SEC especially UGA and Baga? Is he missing a mean streak? This might be one of those that in 3 years people are asking why was he not a 5 star because film wise he looks every bit in range with the other top guys we recruited. Or is it a Marcus Forston situation?
