Oklahoma predicted to land Kaydin Jones

Among the programs vying for Kaydin Jones' commitment, the Sooners are trending as the favorites. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, they have a 96.5% chance of landing the running back.

Speaking about his home-state school to On3, Jones said:

“They’ve showed that they want me. They’ve showed that I can fit in their system and they’re willing to get me up there. They show me their offense. It’s definitely surreal.”

Jones has also been impressed with the Sooners' coaching staff, which includes former Dallas Cowboys star running back DeMarco Murray.

“I love the coaches and the hospitality every time I go up there. Coach DeMarco Murray, he’s been at the highest level and won Offensive Player of the Year in the NFL. That’s definitely exciting, to get that opportunity to play for a coach like that.”

Kaydin Jones hopes to find a program where he will have the opportunity to play as a freshman. Let's see if the Sooners can secure his commitment or if another program will step in to earn his pledge.
