The notion that one of the nation's most gifted high school football players would willingly forego an opportunity to play at Alabama, Florida State or LSU for a program with two wins across the past two seasons seems implausible. But at the moment, that is precisely what Devonta Jason, a 5-star wide receiver from the West Bank in New Orleans, is poised to do.
Rather than commit to Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Georgia or Florida, Jason is committed to Kansas. Not Auburn, Miami, Ole Miss or Texas A&M. Not Arkansas, Arizona, Missouri, TCU or the plethora of other football meccas that have showed interest.
