Avyonne Jones, 2022 Southlake Carroll Cornerback, Commits To Oklahoma State

STILLWATER, OK – Avyonne Jones, a corner in the 2022 class, has committed to Oklahoma State during his spring game visit Saturday afternoon. 

Jones, from Southlake Carroll High School, picked the Cowboys over the likes of Wisconsin, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Mississippi State, California, and many other. He holds 23 total offers. 

The Cowboys were one of the first schools to offer back on Dec. 16, 2020 and has remained the top choice for Jones and his family since that day. Although this is the first time he has been on campus since he was offered, the virtual recruitment and visits were enough to impress Jones. In fact, he flirted with a commitment to the Cowboys back in February. 

During his junior season, in which he played 10 games and helped his team to a state championship appearance, Jones tallied 46 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 13 pass deflections and one interception. 

This is the exact kind of player Oklahoma State loves to recruit at defensive back because even early in his development he has shown position versatility and is able to play all three positions in the secondary: cornerback, safety, nickel.

This commitment bolsters the class in many ways. On one hand, the Cowboys are landing the exact prototype of defensive back they love. On a second hand, this is another commitment from the DFW area in such a strong year for the Pokes in the North Texas region. On a third metaphorical hand, this will make waves within the Oklahoma State community, being that it comes on Spring Game day with tons of other Cowboy recruits and targets walking around campus and spending time together. 

Jones is the 10th commitment in the 2022 recruiting class for the Cowboys, the 5th on defense. He joins Cameron Epps as the two cornerbacks in the class so far. This commitment once again moves the Cowboys up into a top 10 recruiting class in the nation.
