One such player the Rutgers staff has opened up to re-evaluation is Nassau Community College's (Garden City, N.Y.)[URL='http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/2138657/highlights/74605376'][B]Troy Jones Jr[/B][/URL]. Jones, the 6-2, 210-pound dual-threat signal caller led Nassau to a 9-2 record in 2013. An All-Northeast conference selection, he holds offers from Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky, Troy, UMass and a multitude of FCS institutions. And he has been receiving attention from UConn and Virginia Tech, both of which are in the process of scheduling visits to watch him throw. But an offer from Rutgers would likely make the Scarlet Knights a serious player in his recruitment. Jones, older brother of class of 2014 Wisconsin commit Chris Jones, is also a teammate and good friend of top-ranked junior college offensive tackle Chad Mavety. And he believes there is a chance Mavety would open back up to the Scarlet knights if he were added to the fold. "I'm not saying he would sign if I went, but I know that I would be able to at least get him to come see it with me," said Jones. "He's my best friend up here since day one. Obviously, he has his favorites right now of Ohio State and Florida State. But we talk everyday and I know that he wants to play with somebody he knows. So the idea of playing with each other is something we are still interested in." The Nassau standout claims Mavety hasn't been over-hyped one bit and is as special as he has been proclaimed to be.
