Nebraska<\/a> loves to recruit the state of Georgia, and it back into the Peach State and pulled another big offensive line commitment out of Loganville (Ga.) Grayson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

KD Jones<\/a>, a 6-foot-4, 288-pound offensive lineman with close to 30 offers, committed to the Cornhuskers after building strong relationships with the staff and taking a visit to Lincoln earlier this month that completely changed his perspective on the program.<\/p>\n

Nebraska beat out Georgia Tech<\/a> and Kentucky<\/a> for the talented Peach State lineman.<\/p>\n

Jones already had a strong connection with offensive line coach Geep Wade<\/a> long before Nebraska entered the picture. That connection quickly put Nebraska on his radar. <\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Wade has been recruiting me for a long time, ever since he was at Georgia Tech,\u201d Jones told Rivals. \u201cWe already had a good relationship, so as soon as he got to Nebraska, he started recruiting me. Later in the spring, he offered, and he and Nebraska has been recruiting me hard since. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe saw potential in me and he wants me to be a part of what he\u2019s trying to do at Nebraska. Coach Wade liked me a lot when he was at Georgia Tech, and he has really been on me the last month or two hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wade got Nebraska\u2019s foot in the door, then the two-day visit to Lincoln proved massive in the recruitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the best facility I\u2019ve ever seen on any of my visits,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was my first Big Ten school that I took a visit to, and I see it\u2019s way different than the other conferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no NBA team, no NFL team \u2014 it\u2019s straight college football. That\u2019s the type of environment I want to be in. It is different at Nebraska. It is a straight college-football town.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relationships ultimately pushed Nebraska over the top. Jones pointed directly to Wade and offensive line coach Teasley as one of the biggest reasons for the commitment.<\/p>\n

The Big Ten also appealed heavily to Jones as he evaluated where he fit best long term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see myself just playing in the Big Ten,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThe Big Ten is the best conference out there. It is better than the SEC. It is the best football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, after a recruitment filled with offers and visits, Jones is ready to shut things down.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this commitment, I am committed to Nebraska and will only take one official visit,\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nebraska loves to recruit the state of Georgia, and it back into the Peach State and pulled another…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,5282,44780,283268,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-657362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ga","tag-grayson-rams-loganville","tag-kd-jones-27-grayson","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
