Muschamp scores his first coup of 2012 with Armwood RB Matt Jones

by mlmintampa on Feb 15, 2011 1:03 AM EST in Florida Football

When you want guys who can play ball, you come to Hillsborough County. That is why it is no surprise that Will Muschamp got Armwood RB Matt Jones to kick off the 2012 class for Florida.

The four-star junior ran for 1,447 yards and 25 touchdowns as the Hawks reached the 4A state championship game. The St. Petersburg Times reports that Jones will announce his 2012 intentions at Armwood on Wednesday, but that his coach said that Georgia is still a possibility. However, Jones all but confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that he would pick UF.

You can watch Jones below. He's the big-ass dude with the dreads.

Geez he is just a 4 star?

Is that because it is so early for next year…

Yeah, they (along with the other services) will update their rankings numerous times until signing day. He’ll be a 5 star when it is all said and done.

nasty.

enough said. doesnt have blow your mind speed but he breaks too many tackles to complain too much about his lack of the Demps factor.

I agree. This guy looks very slow compared to most of the four and five star running backs. Maybe this is our first look at the change in personnel that the Gators are going to go after in the future.

agreed.

they can always train him to get quicker when he gets to college tho so this might just be like a rough draft kinda deal. hey Mark Ingram isnt that fast either and hes doin alright haha
