Highly recruited defensive back Sheridan Jones of Virginia Beach, Va., on Friday night announced a commitment to Clemson.
Jones (6-1 165) chose the Tigers primarily over Ohio State, though he also had South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Tennessee and Nebraska on his last published short list. He's the Tigers' 10th commitment for the 2019 class and the third for the secondary.
Jones originally was in the 2020 class but with his academic work well ahead of schedule, he moved up to 2019. Clemson offered soon after he announced the change, and that's when the Tigers truly grabbed his attention.
