Sorry, Texas A&M. You, too, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Pursued by those SEC schools, defensive end Bryan Jones instead is taking his talents to Houston.
Jones, a three-star defensive end from Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep, announced his decision on Twitter.

With the Cougars, Jones (6-5, 240 pounds) will add further punch to a defensive front that already includes 2016 freshman sensation Ed Oliver in the middle.
The decision is a setback for three SEC schools, particularly Ole Miss, where he had been committed until October 25.
