Jones Jr. announced the offer on Monday on social media. This event is part of Notre Dame’s annual Pot of Gold Day, which is held on St. Patrick’s Day.
Rivals also shared this news on their Instagram handle.
Jones is the son of former Notre Dame standout running back Julius Jones, who carried for over 3,000 yards for the Fighting Irish. His 262-yard performance against Pittsburgh in 2003 is still the most ever by a Notre Dame RB in a single game.
Jones Jr. has followed in his father’s footsteps, showcasing tremendous talent on the field. His rookie-year performance of 51 receptions for 750 yards and six touchdowns highlighted his potential as a future collegiate star.
With an official offer from the Fighting Irish, Jones Jr. has a great opportunity to showcase his abilities where Jones Sr. made a reputation from 1999 to 2003 before a successful NFL career.
He has expressed his admiration for Notre Dame’s program and culture, although his recruiting is still in the early stages. Fans and analysts will be keeping an eye on this promising young receiver as he keeps improving his abilities and evaluating his options.
This offer is more than just another scholarship; it is an opportunity to establish a special father-son legacy at one of college football’s elite programs. While his final decision is uncertain, one thing is certain: Jones Jr. is on track to become a household name in football.
