Brandon Jones, the nation's top safety, wasn't going to let a measly injury get in the way.

The 6-foot, 193-pound senior at Nacogdoches (Texas), who missed most of his junior season due to injury, rebounded to record 135 tackles and pick off two passes to earn second-team All-American honors.

On Wednesday — National Signing Day — Jones made his college choice, picking Texas.



Ranked the 40th-best recruit in the country by 247Sports, Jones was expected to pick between Texas A&M or Texas.
