This is an FSU article so idk how truthful everything is but he didn't mention UM at all. Would suck to lose him with what we just produced at DE.
Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage four-star defensive end Marvin Jones Jr. is in the midst of his recruiting process and he already has over 40 scholarship offers from some of the top college programs in the country under his belt.
Jones Jr. has been dealing with an interesting recruitment where he hasn’t been able to visit the schools after him due to a longstanding NCAA recruiting dead period. He’s been doing the best he can with these challenges.
“Obviously it’s kind of annoying not being able to go anywhere,” Jones said. “I’ve kind of gotten used to it I guess. So I’m just excited to go see some schools in the summer and fall.”
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound weak-side end named a few schools on the top of his mind out of his large selection.
“Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida State are a few,” he said of some of the top schools in contention for him.
Although he’s the son of former Florida State All-American linebacker Marvin Jones Sr., he claims the Seminoles are recruiting him separate from his family connection.
“I would say they definitely show me a lot of love,” he said of FSU’s pursuit. “I think that whole legacy thing, you guys kind of make that bigger than what it is. I don’t really ever hear that from Florida State themselves.”
Defensive ends coach John Papuchis and head coach Mike Norvell are both spearheading FSU’s recruitment of Jones Jr.
“Coach JP and Norvell I talk to the most,” he stated.
Papuchis has been sending a strong message to the South Florida prospect about how much he likes his game. Their bond has grown throughout the process.
“He lets me know he loves me as a player,” Jones said of Papuchis’ message. “Our relationship has grown a lot over these past couple months. He’s just really excited about me. I guess we’ll see what happens.”
Jones says it’s really neat to have the head man in Norvell recruiting him personally to Florida State.
“Definitely it’s a good feeling knowing that the head coach really wants you,” he explained.
Where do the ‘Noles stand amongst the powerhouse schools after him?
“I would say they’re right up there with them,” he claimed.
Jones has two official visits scheduled currently to Ohio State and Oklahoma respectively, which will both take place during the college football season.
He plans to have his decision made either late into his senior season of high school or afterwards.
The 247Sports Composite Rankings slot Jones as the No. 63 recruit and No. 5 weak-side defensive end in the nation.
