Jones County Junior College safety Jonathan Haynes committed to Ole Miss on Wednesday. Haynes’ commitment gives the Rebels their 24th commit in the Class of 2019.

“I’m keeping my talents in Mississippi [and] with that being said I’m 100% committed to the University of Mississippi,” Haynes wrote in a tweet.

Haynes is ranked as the second-best junior college safety per ESPN and is considered a three-star safety according to 247Sports. Haynes, 6-0, 205 pounds, also had offers from Florida, Purdue, Colorado and Memphis.

Ole Miss now has an FBS-high 24 commits in the 2019 class. Haynes is one of four safety commits in Class of 2019, joined by three-stars Jay Stanley, Tavario Standifer and Tyler Judson.

After Haynes’ commitment, the Rebels have the 13th-best class in FBS and the fifth in the SEC, per 247Sports.
