Gary Patterson has done it again.

The TCU football coach landed another player from the area. This time it’s Mansfield Summit’s William Jones.

Jones, a junior cornerback for the Jaguars, announced his commitment to the Horned Frogs on Tuesday.

Patterson also landed verbal commits from Aledo junior Wyatt Harris (Monday) and Euless Trinity senior Izaih Filikitonga (Saturday).

“It’s a great coaching staff and great school,” said Jones, who was an all-district performer in 2017. “They see a future in me and I see a future with them.”

Jones, who received the offer on Jan. 5, recorded 36 tackles, nine pass deflections and six interceptions. He also scored on an interception return, punt return and kickoff return.

He helped the Jaguars to the Class 5A Division I regional round, the program’s deepest playoff run since 2005.
