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’ve never seen a DT play that many positions.
OL, TE, FB, WR!!!

His tape is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen.
My 3 dt this cycle regardless of stars are Jones, Franklin and Breyland.

Kids a wrecking ball, wonder why the big boys (Georgia, Alabama, Ohio st etc) were not all over him? Height??

Salty FSUck fans are saying he has grade concerns. Not sure if there is anything to that though

Question for @gogeta4 & my good friend @Memnon (Alias Liberty City El)

His Hudl Film is absolutely ridiculous, but since I saw he’s from near FSU territory, what’s good w/ his competition? The reason I ask this kid looks like a legit top 35 prospect regardless of position & he’s a top 170 although I can see a bump. Is the comp good up that way?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This kid is a monster and I love the pickup but you are completely down playing the Trader pickup if you think so. One its gigantic because of optics, we havent had a 5 star WR from SFLA since Hester. Two our WR room needs help on the outside, not to mention the game is changing, WRs are a premium position now.

One of my favorite recruits this cycle. If you’re his size and you catch TE middle screens, juke, and head toward the sideline, you’ve got the plus feet we desperately need at DT. This one is really exciting. Anyway, for someone who’d hypothetically allow himself to get excited.

Love hearing this news

Funny because those are exactly the 3 with whom I’ve been the most impressed. And want the most. Let’s see how we do. So for 1 for 1.

Wait.

We're going to make a wide receiver - a defensive tackle?

Isn't there a rule about that stuff - a BATF regulation - an Edict from the Vatican or a Micronesian shaman prohibiting such a daring move?
