The top safety in the Class of 2016 apparently doesn’t want to play anywhere but in the Lone Star State.
Brandon Jones, a four-star safety that’s ranked as the top prospect at his position according to 247Sports, announced Texas A&M, Texas and Baylor as his top three college choices on Monday via Twitter:

The 6-foot, 190-pounder from Nacogdoches, Texas, is down to those three schools despite offers from 12 of the 14 teams in the SEC as well as many of the top programs in the country.
It would be a big pickup for the Aggies, who saw one of their four-star commits, defensive end Mark Jackson, flip to Oklahoma on Monday.
