It is clear why the Army Black Knights are high on New York prospect and cornerback Elijah Jones. During the WR vs. DB drills at the Rivals 3-Stripe Camp, the 6-foot-2, 170 pounder out of Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, N.Y. showed off his skills in the camp held in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Recruiting wrap: Jones holds offers from Army, Boston College, Howard and Purdue.
Performance: One of the most impressive performances in a one-on-one setting was Jones intercepting passes on each of his first three reps and having the ball just deflect off his fingers on his fourth rep. The long and lean athlete prospect seemed to know where the ball was going before the quarterback even threw it. He still has some fundamental kinks to work out, but it is nothing that cannot be coached up. That ballhawk mentality, though, is uncoachable, and Jones definitely has it.
Stay tuned as GoBlackKnights.com will have more on Jones' recruiting, so keep it right here as we have you covered with all the latest.
