Bastrop defensive tackle D.D. Jones said Tuesday night that he is leaning towards signing with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Wednesday marks the first day that high school seniors are allowed to sign college football scholarships. Bastrop High will hold a National Signing Day ceremony on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m.

Although Jones has not ruled out Tennessee and Michigan, he says he expects to join the Razorbacks.

“I could change my mind, but I’m leaning towards Arkansas. I’ll make a final decision (Wednesday),” said Jones, who took an official visit to Auburn in addition to Arkansas, Tennessee and Michigan. “Basically, I like everything about Arkansas. I really like the coaching staff.”

If Jones has an 11th-hour change of heart, Tennessee would appear to have the inside track.

“I want to play SEC ball,” Jones said. “That’s what I grew up watching.”

Jones (6-4, 294) is rated as the No. 25 defensive tackle prospect in the nation by rivals.com. He originally committed to Michigan.

A two-year starter and a three-year letterman for the Rams, Jones earned All-State recognition after logging 58 tackles, 10 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, two sacks and forcing three fumbles.

As a junior, Jones recorded 81 tackles and four sacks in helping the Rams to their third consecutive state championship and a No. 13 national ranking.

A spot starter as a sophomore, Jones was in on 58 tackles, with three sacks and three fumble recoveries.

Jones began his career at Delta, starting as a freshman, prior to the consolidation of Morehouse Parish’s two public schools.

Jones’ older brother, former Ram and Delta Mustang Deddrick Jones, is now a starting defensive end at Southern Mississippi.
