It isn’t often that Alabama loses out on a four-star prospect they want, but that happened today when Hezekiah Jones chose Texas A&M over the Crimson Tide. Jones, the No. 18-ranked wide receiver in the class of 2017, decided to go with the Aggies over Auburn, Notre Dame and Houston as well.

Jones is a 6-foot, 196-pound receiver, who told GigEm247 earlier this week about his decision.
“I just felt like it was the best fit for me,” Jones said. “With what they have going on there, I feel like there’s something special brewing, especially with Coach (Noel) Mazzone there. He’s a great coach and his offense is immaculate. It’s so close to home and I’m playing SEC ball. You can’t beat it.”
The four-star pass-catcher is from Stafford, Texas and is now one of many high-end wide receiver recruits to choose Texas A&M recently. In 2015, the Aggies brought in a couple four-star receivers in Christian Kirk and Kemah Siverand.
Back in 2014, Texas A&M got Speedy Noil, who was a five-star and in 2013, brought in a couple top-10 rated receivers in Ricky Seals-Jones and Sebastian LaRue. Jones, the latest big-time receiver to choose the Aggies, is a former Baylor commit and is now the 19th commit for the school’s 2017 class.
Here’s a highlight tape of the newest Aggie.
