Although safety Mike Jones was born in Pittsburgh, he's lived in Florida half his life. So what makes a kid from the south follow a team from the midwest? "Honestly, I just liked their helmets when I was smaller," Jones said. "That's what I first noticed about them. With me, distance doesn't matter. All of the Florida schools are really stacked and I'm hoping to play early..."
Mike Jones, the 6-foot-2.5, 200-pound three-star strong safety from Edgewater High School in Orlando, Fla., has seven scholarship offers and now favors Michigan slightly over Notre Dame, Auburn, Kentucky and South Florida. All have offered, except the Irish.
Jones recently visited both Michigan and Notre Dame and admits he's always been a fan of the Wolverines. "I love Michigan," he said. "They have like 110,000 fans come to their games. It's a big tradition school and I like that.
"I also like coach Rich Rodriguez and like the new faster-pace offense he's gonna run," Jones said. "I think it'll be good for them."
