Li'Marcus Jones recommits to Deion Sanders and Colorado 24 hours after flipping

It seemed like a massive recruiting win for Jeff Lebby and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Despite a long-standing commitment to the Colorado Buffaloes and head coach Deion Sanders, Lebby and the Bulldogs were able to get four-star offensive tackle recruit Li'Marcus Jones on campus and convince him to play his college ball near home.

Jones is a top player at Brentwood, Tennessee's Brentwood Academy, but he originally hails from Mississippi, and Lebby and the Bulldogs were able to convince him that he could be a part of building something special in his home state.

There was also apparently buzz floating around the airwaves that Jones listens to that Sanders may not be at Colorado next season, as he's struggling through a 3-6 campaign.

That all played a role in Jones' flip, but Colorado and Sanders clearly got back into the four-star's ear.

A day after he flipped from Colorado to Mississippi State, Jones has re-committed to Sanders and the Buffaloes.

That's just how recruiting goes in 2026, and it's maddening.

"After having a hard time sleeping and thinking on my decision I realize that going back home to Mississippi is not for me," Jones wrote on social media. "I allowed the media to get to my head about where Coach Prime will be at next year but the staff informed me that they will in fact be there so with that being said I’m an 100% locked in with Coach Prime and the Buffs."
