D’jimon Jones tweets his commitment to WSU

Washington State picked up its sixth known commitment of the 2016 recruiting cycle on Thursday when Jones tweeted his intention of joining the Cougars.

It's not certain the 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete out of Federal Way High School will play at WSU. Rivals.com expects Jones to play quarterback while Scout.com merely lists him as an athlete.

But it's worth noting that in his highlight videos, such as the one below, he's chosen to show exclusively videos of him playing quarterback, although he does also list himself as a cornerback. It sure appears in his video that he has the athleticism to play defensive back, with many of his highlights showing option plays and other runs that showcase his speed and quickness.

The Cougars also have one quarterback currently committed in the class of 2016 Oak Ridge High's Ian Book.

Jones reportedly also had a scholarship offer from Montana.
