Amani Jones flips to Iowa

[CPHAWK82]

Illini linebacker Amani Jones liked what he saw in Iowa this weekend....

"The coaches have been there for a long time and they've won," Jones said.
"I liked everything," Jones said. "It was nice. I liked everything about Iowa.
"Coach (Jim) Reid I was excited to meet him and talk defense with him."

Anytime we can flip a kid from another B1G school it's a good thing. This was Beckman's best D recruit for 2016. This kid is a hitter and runs through folks. He had a tremendous game in the Championship of the state playoffs last year.

Sounds promising.

Looks a little bit like Bob Sanders/Anthony Hitchens.........tackling machine.
Need one of Linebackers, this season, to step up and be a Hitchens type of backer

I can only hope he measure up to Sanders and Hitchens but that was the type of player he looks like. Big hitter, great anticipation and showed some decent quickness. Very good looking prospect.
