Let the crawdad and bead jokes commence. Adding some more Louisiana flavor to roster already peppered with Terrence Moore, Khiry Cooper and P.J. Smith, speedy linebacker Deion Jones of new Orleans Jesuit became the sixth verbal commitment of the Huskers 2012 class. He is the second linebacker in a class that could be looking at taking one more.

Despite the meager rating, he has amassed 17 offers including ones from Arizona, Illinois, KU, K State, Minnesota, Pitt and TCU.
