It was all brand new, Jones said. It was very important to get to campus. I didn't expect many of the things I saw today. It was a great experience. I know I will be back. I hadn't been there since I was 4 or 5 and watched my brother play.
It's been crazy, Jones said. A lot of people are telling me which way to go and what to do and what not to do. Right now, I'm just focused on keeping my head on right and my grades up. And focusing on what's more important like my family."
I left there thinking about the coaching staff, Jones said. They really showed me what they are all about. They play with a purpose and with a passion. That was the message I got today. I'm looking for a perfect fit. It's more like a feeling. It's more about how I can be successful there beyond football because football is going to end one day.
As for a leader, Jones said he doesn't have one and that he has some things to think about, but made it clear the Vols left a big impression. I'm headed to Indiana next, Jones said. I have been to Ole Miss, Memphis and now Tennessee. I'm coming back here for the spring game. I'm going to take some time to think about it, but it was a great day.
