4-star teammates Pierce Clarkson, R.J. Jones to visit Louisville next month
Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco 2023 teammates R.J. Jones and Pierce Clarkson will both visit Louisville during the weekend of Nov. 5.
Both players announced the news Tuesday on Twitter.
Clarkson is a consensus four-star quarterback who can move the ball efficiently and effectively with both his arm and his legs. Jones is a consensus four-star safety who is in his first year in the program.
Fellow 2023 teammates Jshawn Frausto-Ramos, who transferred with Jones to Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco over the summer, and Jahlil McClain also hold offers from Lousiville.
The two players are close, and it appears that they would consider both going to the same school.
