News And Notes:	One of the top juniors in South Carolina…………..Will start at QB as a junior after not playing football for a couple of years due to some off-the-field issues………..Dual-threat QB/ATH…………..Reportedly (conflicting info) offered by Michigan the end of his sophomore year……….Spartanburg quarterback Jones gets offer from Michigan By Jason Gilmer Published: Wednesday, June 4, 2008 | Updated: 7:42 pm:  “Conelius Jones hasn’t played a down for the Spartanburg Vikings varsity football team yet, but Michigan has seen enough to offer him a scholarship.The junior quarterback received his first offer Tuesday, after Vikings coach Freddie Brown sent the Big Ten school a five-minute video of Jones from a scrimmage. The film was enough to attract attention. “I was shocked,” Jones said of the offer. “After I sent the tape, no, I wasn’t surprised at all,” Brown said. “I can see who he’s going to be in this offense in two years.” Brown said Jones’ speed helped his stock quickly rise. In the offense that Brown wants to utilize, Jones (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) will be a mobile quarterback, similar to the kind expected to be used by head coach Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. Jones hasn’t played football in the Spartanburg system for a couple of years after he got into some trouble, he said. He was one of the players that Brown went out into the community and got back in school during the spring. “He’s given me another chance, and I want to make sure I make the most of it,” Jones said. Jones said he is working hard to learn the offense and how to be a leader for the coming season. With the first offer on the table, Jones and Brown said they expect more to come. “I think he’s a guy that you have to get your name in the pot now,” Brown said. “(Michigan was) the first ones to offer him, and I’ll tell you, he is appreciative. People are going to have to do some recruiting now to get him.”

I don’t think he is that big but he certainly isn’t small and remember he was only a soph. Venice is a 5A school, one of, if not the largest classes in Fl. His stats for last year were: Burton — 77 comp / 155 att. 1,318 yds 13 TD 6 INT Burton — 137 car. — 708 yds 9 -TDA couple of things to note.

Macon, who just turned 15 years old a few weeks ago, has impressed everyone with his running, passing and playmaking ability. ‘‘His athletic ability speaks for itself,’’ Fecko said. ‘‘Something I’ve noticed, though, is that he makes great decisions. He’s certainly no sophomore when it comes to leading his team,. ‘‘He doesn’t get rattled if he’s rushed while trying to find a receiver. If no one is open, he finds a running lane which forces the defense to cover the entire field.’’ Saccoccia wasn’t surprised by the speedy development of his young quarterback. ‘‘Dwight is being raised by solid parents. He’s a humble kid who knows that he isn’t doing it by himself,’’ Saccoccia said. ‘‘His work ethic from the start earned Dwight the respect of his coaches and teammates.’’ In last week’s 44-29 repeat victory against powerful Canton Central, Macon carried the ball 31 times for 297 yards and three touchdowns. Overall, in his first year of varsity football, Macon has rushed for 1,127 yards and passed for just fewer than 1,500 yards. His aerial totals include 102 completions in 167 attempts for 12 touchdowns. Macon has been picked off only three times this year.”
