Marco Jones fits the recruiting profile of a high-level Division I program. At 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, he has the versatility to play both linebacker and tight end for San Ramon Valley High School (Danville, Calif.). He’s described by recruiting experts as athletic with good instincts. He has played varsity baseball in both of the last two seasons.
But in one way, he doesn’t fit the description of the kid typically recruited by the likes of Michigan, Texas, and Alabama: Jones was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 3 years old.
