Four-star defensive tackle Kobe Jones is staying home, as the Mississippi native will play his college ball at Mississippi State.

Jones is the 21st-ranked defensive tackle on the ESPN 300 and the 178th-ranked prospect in the class of 2016.

The 6-foot-4, 268-pounder has the size and speed to shed blocks on the interior line, frequently causing disruption in opposing backfields.

Jones officially visited SEC powerhouses Alabama and Ole Miss, but had offers from all over the country.
