USF coach Jeff Scott said an offseason priority was adding more speed to the Bulls' secondary.

"Last year, we got into situations where we were being ran by,'' Scott said Tuesday following USF's 10th spring practice. "We didn't have the breakaway speed to save a big (touchdown) play and let our defense keep playing.''

That's why Scott was attracted to Will Jones II, a 5-foot-9, 162-pound freshman cornerback/nickelback transfer from Kansas State. Jones has a superb attitude and excellent ball skills. He can also really motor.

"I'll just say that I'm fast,'' Jones said.
