Jimmy Brumbaugh and Kentucky have offered Noah Jones, a junior college defensive lineman from Pearl River C.C. He's teammates with Courtney Miggins and Alvonte Bell. Memphis and Lafayette were the first two schools to offer so the UK offer is huge. He was a great interview, acknowledging that at first UK wasn't an offer he was looking for, but he's grown to have major interest in the school. Bell has told him quite a bit about how the program is taking steps to improve and he's very likely to visit down the road, though it may be after finals.
He's a 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive lineman that actually signed with Michigan State coming out of Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) Dillard in the Class of 2013. He's grown and matured a lot since then. The Spartans are not involved this time around.
When he signed with Michigan State, Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio said the following:
"Noah is a very athletic big man with great get-off. He has long arms and his 6-3 frame helped him shed blockers and attack the quarterback in high school."
"Noah Jones is a guy that's sort of a come-on-lately guy. At the beginning of the process he weighed 240 pounds, 6'3" plus, and at the end of it he was nearly 270 and had numerous BCS offers, and some of those from the Southeast Conference. So we're excited about Noah, and he can play in the inside area or at the defensive end position, one of the two.
"He reminds me a lot of Joel Heath in a lot of his athletic abilities and the things he can do as a player right now, so it's going to be interesting to watch his development."
