Four-star LB Khalid Jones commits to rising Big Ten school

He's not staying home.

Four-star ILB Khalid Jones committed to the Northwestern Wildcats Wednesday afternoon to add to an already impressive class by head coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Jones revealed the big news via his personal Twitter account.

In the above tweet, Jones mentions how difficult the process was saying, "Through much thought and consideration, I have decided to further my academic and athletic career at Northwestern University."

Jones is a huge get for the Wildcats, as the four-star linebacker received nine offers overall, and included the likes of Oregon, Tennessee, Duke, Kentucky, Clemson and Ole Miss.

247sports has Jones as the No. 25 ILB in the class of 2018, and with his size, 6'1" and 225 lbs, he projects to be the perfect inside linebacker for Fitzgerald's group for today's game.
