Jarrian Jones?

Could he have a future with us as a receiver? I know he plays on both sides of the ball and has good numbers as a receiver. Does he just want to move forward as a safety with his career? It’s obvious we need legit receivers for this offense to work. Hoping someone closer to the situation/in the know could tell me whether or not this could happen.

He couldn’t be at a better HS to be steered towards Starkville.

247 has said its being heavily considered. I don’t care what anyone says. I think playing him on defense would waste what he could give you on Offense.

He's definitely going to get a shot at playing WR.

Same could be said for Marcus Murphy

I watched him play Warren Central and he was the best player on the field that night. However, I only saw him play wide receiver. I never saw him line up at safety in the game. He might have and I may have missed it, but if he played safety in the WC game then it wasn't very often. He may project as a safety in college, but I bet they give him a long look at receiver.

Saw him last Friday in Madison. Easily the best player on the field. Demanded double coverage, and even beat that several times.

I wasn't looking for him on defense so I don't know if he played DB at all.

I've seen him play once and he is one fast/quick dude. Would make a great WR.

I’ve seen every NWR game since the start of last season. JDub is the real deal. He’s been the best athlete on the field every game with the exception of possibly Mingo who is a beast himself. He makes plays on offense. Drops some passes but is just better than his competition out there. He very well could be a great safety prospect for us tho and is where I see him being best suited. He may and should be given a shot on the offensive side of the ball

I really wish we would give Dee Baker more of a look possibly for a slot receiver spot. You can’t teach speed and that kid has run off and left everyone on every team we’ve played. Ealy from Prep is supposed to be fast. I think Dee could turn around and wave at him before crossing the finish line in the 100 meter.

Multiple people who would know say he's the rare bird who wants to play defense despite having more perceived potential on offense.

Dee can absolutely fly and he's got decent size at 6' 170lb or so. I think that he would be worth taking a shot on.
