Bryan Jones Official Visit Update
Baton Rouge (LA) Madison Prep DE Bryan Jones has already made it back to Baton Rouge. He made the trip to College Station with his mom, stepdad, nephew, and girlfriend and he was hosted by close friend Clifford Chattman.On what stood outIt was my first time seeing the facilities. They were just great facilities and top of the line.On Clifford ChattmanWhen I first started getting recruited he was on the rise as a 2016 prospect, and I saw him at the Saints facility for a magazine. We chopped it up there and ever since then that's been my brother. I call him my bro, but mentor actually because he's given me a lot of tips about recruiting. He always preached to me to follow my heart and I can say that's a big part of recruiting.On the coolest thing he got to doThe coolest thing I got to do was design my own uniform.On where things stand right now as Signing Day approachesMy thoughts are my last two officials, which were Texas A&M and Houston, they both showed me a good time and I'm not sure yet that I'm going to just stick on those two but those are the two at the top right now. Those are the two I could maybe see myself joining for four years.On Texas A&M's message to himThey're message to me this weekend was they can preach about their ends and me filling the role of Myles Garrett or Daeshon Hall. Or coming in and keeping the pressure going to all the teams they play starting off with UCLA.On his thoughts about next weekendI had one that was scheduled to Texas. I'm still trying to decide if I want to take one to Texas or take an official to Ole Miss or take one to Mississippi State because I've never been to Mississippi State. Right now I'm still just thinking about it.On what has Texas A&M and Houston out front right nowThe reason I'm closing in on those two programs is they can help me education-wise and defensive scheme-wise, which their defensive scheme I've played in both of them and I know how to play in their defensive scheme which is a 4-3. On what's nextMe and my family are going to sit down and decide if we want to take a third official. Right now it's those two. I'm announcing on Signing Day.
