Date Of Official Visit To Michigan: Dec. 14, 2012. Why Jones Chose Michigan: ���It was basically the camaraderie around the program, and the fact that the program wanted to launch a pro-style offense. It fits, relative to my skills as a receiver. My mom liked it. She liked the academics, and felt good about the university. She knew I���d get a very good education. Plus, it���s pretty close to home, so I knew my parents would get to see a lot of the games.��� Head Coach���s Comments: ���Michigan is getting a darned good football player, but more importantly a better person and a better young man,��� Westland John Glenn head coach Tim Hardin noted. ���Da���Mario is a great athlete, but he���s an exceptional young man. He���s a good leader and good in the classroom, just a great kid. ���At the high school level, it���s very rare that your best player is also your best leader and your best kid. That���s the kind of kid Da���Mario is. ���His size and his athletic ability ��� when you match that up with his aggressiveness, that���s what makes him a good football player. He���s fast, and he has great leaping ability. His reach is incredible. Even though he���s 6-2, with his body type, he plays like he���s 6-5, because of his ability to leap and stretch to go get a ball.���
