Maryland Offers 2022 Tennessee Athlete Kody Jones
Maryland extended an offer to Germantown (TN) athlete Kody Jones on Thursday afternoon as the 6-foot, 180-pound prospect added his latest Big Ten offer. The Terps are among the long list of Power Five schools building their 2022 recruiting board from the summer into the September contact period for the class as Jones has built a steady relationship over the last week.
“I’ve been texting the director of recruiting Marcus Berry for about a week now,” Jones told All Terrapins. “I hit him up today and telling me that when I get out of school, to call my coaches so I called them and he told me that Maryland offered me as an athlete. They’re really interested in me because we’ve only talked for about a week and they pulled the trigger so I know they’re interested and they think I can help the program.”
Listed as an athlete, Jones added that “some schools are recruiting me as an athlete, some recruiting me as a corner and some as a running back or slot like a Tavon Austin-type.”
The Tennessee native has some background on the latest offer ahead of further conversations with the staff. “I didn’t know Stefon Diggs went there but that’s big and I know it’s in the Big Ten. That’s all I know early but I’m supposed to get on the phone with the coaches this afternoon.
Jones already holds over twenty verbal offers as he has taken in previous trips to Memphis, Michigan State and Tennessee while he’ll look to embark on the next round following the January 1 dead period. “I’m looking at where me and my family feel comfortable, where I can get a good education and be on the field as fast as possible.”
