Scouts, Inc. ranks Jones, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 301 pounds, as the No. 19 offensive tackle recruit in the nation. By participating in several high-profile offseason camps, Jones found himself on the radar of major college programs.

“It’s a great program,” Jones said. “They’re going to win a national championship in my time there, I know that.”

Jones said he expects to still hear offers from big-name schools as the year goes along, as his commitment to Liberty isn’t iron-clad until he signs his letter of intent in February. Jones said Liberty fans won’t have to worry about him changing his mind.

Grant has been on the Liberty radar for a few years and it is good to have a verbal. This verbal is about as solid as it can be without getting the signature. By signaling his intentions early, this should have a big impact on next year's recruiting. I like his confidence about the direction of the program.

That's interesting because he isn't listed as that high at all.

He's a two star local kid. Looks likes a good pickup and I assume he'll stay to his commitment since he is local. But #19 in the nation he is not.
