*Jones is the first four-star Oklahoma has landed from Alabama in the Bob Stoops era and only the second player at all from the Yellowhammer State - joining Dwayne Orso from the class of 2014.

*The last time Oklahoma signed a four-star receiver under 6-foot-4? 2012. The players that year were Durron Neal and some kid from Heritage Hall named Sterling Shepard.

*He is Lincoln Riley's fourth commitment in this class, three of the four being four-stars with Abdul Adams and Austin Kendall joining Jones as well as three-star Adrian Hardy. He was the primary on Adams, Kendall, and Jones.

*In just over a year on campus he has landed four wide receiver commitments for the Sooners, being the primary on both Jones and Dahu Green.

*Somewhat unbelievably he is only the third 'Jones' to commit to Oklahoma since 2002.
