Anytime a top high school wide receiver gets an Ohio State offer, you know they can play the position. Offensive coordinator Brian Hartline’s track record is enough for those players to understand there’s a pipeline from Columbus to the NFL.
The Buckeyes can’t take all of the receivers, so when one is also an athlete who can play a different position, it makes that recruit even more tantalizing. Receiver skills in the secondary is a good quality, and that’s what Georgia’s Demello Jones offers.
Buy Buckeyes TicketsAt 6 feet, 1 inch and 176 pounds, Jones played wide receiver, quarterback and cornerback for his Swainsboro High School team this past fall. It’s impressive. The good news for Ohio State is it has made it past another cut in Jones’ recruiting list, making his top 10.
