Maryland strengthened its secondary in a big way for the next few years on Wednesday after securing the commitment of 4-star recruit Deon Jones, per Rivals.com's Adam Friedman.
According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Jones is the No. 13 cornerback and No. 105 overall in the 2017 recruiting class. He's also the third-best player from the state of Maryland.
Counting the number of top schools that didn't offer Jones a scholarship is nearly as easy as keeping track of those who did. He had heavy interest from Clemson, Auburn, Ohio State, Florida State, Florida, Michigan State and UCLA, among others, per 247Sports.
