On Monday, we detailed how good the month of July has been to the Ole Miss Rebel football team. It got even better this morning as four-star defensive back Jaylon Jones (Allen/Texas) gave a verbal commitment to Ole Miss, the fifth such 2016 recruit to do so in the last two weeks.
Jones was at one time considered a lock to join his Allen High School teammate, five-star offensive tackle Greg Little, in College Station with the Aggies, but in the last month not only has Little decommitted, but the Rebels became the favorite to land Jones. In addition to Texas A&M, Jones also heavily considered Auburn, Ohio State, TCU and USC.
