Hugh Freeze and his staff stayed as hot as the weather in July on the recruiting trail Tuesday morning, picking up another standout player from the state of Texas.
Safety Jaylon Jones (5-foot-11, 182 pounds) of Allen, Texas verbally committed to the Rebels, picking Freeze over staying close to home and playing for Kevin Sumlin and Texas A&M.
Jones made his choice public via Twitter, saying “I’ll be joining Coach Freeze and the University of Mississippi #HottyToddy
Jones is the 18th overall pledge for the 2016 signing class, and the fifth in less than two weeks for the Rebels.
