Florida State Football: Top National Signing Day Targets
2. Levi Jones, 4-star OLB (Austin, TX)
Levi Jones is a high target on the Florida State Seminoles list as National Signing Day approaches. Jones ranks 92nd overall in the nation, sixth overall at outside linebacker and the 14th-best available in the state in the Texas, according to 247 Sports.
With zero commitments in this recruiting class at outside linebacker, the Seminoles could use some depth at the position. They’ll have a total of five outside linebackers on the roster in 2017.
His top four schools consist of Florida State, Florida, UCLA and USC. He took official visits to each school in January. He visited the Gators on January 13, the Bruins on January 18, the Trojans on the 20th and the Seminoles on the 27th. Texas was originally in the mix, but has since fallen out of the race.
The 6-foot-3, 215 pound linebacker recorded 103 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, four pass breakups and two force fumbles in his senior season at Westlake High School. The Seminoles could certainly use his defensive prowess, as they ranked sixth in the ACC in yards allowed with 349.1 total yards. Adding Jones is a top priority for Florida State for good reason.
Jones will make his final decision on February 1.
