Ohio QB Jones favors Purdue

"I worked with the quarterbacks and the defensive backs," Jones said. "It was a fun experience. Ohio State is recruiting me more as an athlete."

Jones attended two other camps before he went to Ohio State.
"I went to Cincinnati's camp," he said. "And I went to Tennessee's camp too."
In addition to the camps, Jones also has unofficial visits on his mind.
"I visited Wake Forest," he said. "And I'm going to visit Purdue and maybe West Virginia. Purdue will probably be July 30."
Jones has scholarship offers from Purdue, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Illinois and Maryland.
"My top five would probably be Purdue, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and West Virginia," he said. "Probably my favorite right now is Purdue. But I'm going to wait and see how things fall out."
The 5-foot-10 and 169-pound Jones passed for 1974 yards and 21 touchdowns during his junior season. He also rushed for 630 yards and eight touchdowns. Jones said the Boilermakers are recruiting him as a quarterback.
