Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads announced that defensive back Jarnor Jones, a junior college transfer from Georgia Military, signed his letter of intent and has enrolled in classes for the Spring semester at Iowa State University.

Jones, a 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pound junior defensive back, initially signed with North Carolina State out of high school before transferring to Georgia Military, where he recorded 40 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, eight pass break-ups and two interceptions last season.

“To get an athlete of his caliber in a bounce-back role is a nice pick up for our secondary,” Rhoads said in a statement. “He adds a dimension to our outside linebacker position whether that be nickel or into the boundary with a touch of athleticism that we can not only play physical but we can cover both zone and man.”

Jones was a three-star recruit, according to Rivals.com and ESPN out of high school, ranked the No. 28 safety by ESPN, with offers from Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland.
