    Walton High School RB Tyren Jones exploded on the Georgia high school scene this year, running for over 2,000 yards and leading his team to the state championship game against Grayson in the Georgia Dome.

    With that type production, Jones has started to garner significant interest from top schools.

    “A lot of doors opened up, some with potential,” Jones said. “I knew what I was capable of but I just had to make the right move.”

    Could Georgia Tech potentially be a school that would fit into Tyren Jones’ plans?

    “I’m looking for a run first school ‘cause I know what I am capable of but other than that right now I’m just still looking,” he said.

    Tyren Jones spoke more about Georgia Tech in an exclusive 3-minute audio interview. Subscribe to GTSportsTalk Gold and then listen to this Tyren Jones Interview.

      He's a high school junior. 4-star. When you read the articles it gives that type information.

      currently, 5'10" and 195. solidly build. i like him! hope we can rise to the top of his list. we've been picking up some quality QBs the past few years. it's time we start building a pipeline of bona fide BBs. extremely important piece of the puzzle if we're gonna be a top tier team.

      The GTSportstalk headline reads as if all the major schools overlooked him this year.

      I can see where you would think that. Actually got that title from one of Tyren's quotes.
