Hurricanes Land National Defensive Tackle Recruit Artavius Jones!
Artavius Jones Commits to Miami, Defensive Tackle Recruiting Receives a Needed Jolt!
The Miami Hurricanes struck big on Friday night with Artavius Jones. He plays defensive tackle, the position the Canes need to shore up the most within the class of 2024.
At 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, Jones possesses the quick feet, change of direction skills, and explosiveness to thrive in a one-gap, get-up-the-field defense like the Hurricanes employ. If there’s anyone celebrating more in Coral Gables than Joe Salave’a, the person in charge of the interior defensive linemen.
He should be excited about the talented prospect from Blountstown (Fla.) High School!
ALL GORY TO GOD ✝️ Thank you to all the coaches that believed in me, I’m very grateful for the opportunities and support from my family and teammates but with that being said I’m committed to the UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI 🟢🟠@CoachField @BlountstownFB1 @buggs_sr @GregJordan12 305 🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/MMGtgC5yPd
