In beginning, Mac Jones was an unassuming and almost forgotten player on the Crimson Tide Class of 2017 recruiting class. Little did fans know what he would become.
In June of 2015, the three-star Florida native camped at Kentucky and immediately received a scholarship offer. It was only his second offer after East Carolina. He would commit to the Wildcats a month later. All was quiet as he played his junior season at Bolles School in Jacksonville. It was so quiet that even Florida, FSU, Miami and other in-state schools did not notice him.
Much to the chagrin of UK head coach Mark Stoops, he would soon get plenty of attention. At a 7-on-7 camp in early 2016, he was hitting everything and started to open some eyes.

Cover 3: Which pro days you should keep an eye on Mar 02, 2021 at 01:26 PM Copied!
With pro days getting underway this week, the crew discusses which ones to keep an eye on this year.
John Schmeelk: The Pro Day I want to watch for entertainment purposes is the LSU Pro Day. I am very eager to see what Ja Marr Chase looks like after a year off, training to become a better wide receiver. Everyone remembers his dominant 2019 season, when he caught 84 passes for 1780 yards and 20 touchdowns on his way to leading LSU to a national title, but what people don t remember is that he was a true sophomore and ONLY 19!. He will turn 21 in March. Devonta Smith, on the other hand, will turn 23 in November. I want to see what Chase runs on his 40 yard-dash and other events after a year of training. It could be special and cement him as the top receiver in the class.
