Legendary Buffs but not 5 star recruits, which was the question
Yeah, and we are throwing out names like Jordan Dizon. Lots of those guys weren’t 5* recruits. Most weren’t.
Greg Jones was a 5 star before the Rivals and 247 era made stars a thing. He was good, but he never quite lived up to his potential. Came out of high school around 200 lbs (not the 215 listed in this) and never put on the muscle to be great. #2 LB and #20 overall in the 1992 class according to Tom Lemming.
Edit: My recollection is that he never cracked 230 in college, but Wikipedia claims that his NFL playing weight was 248.
Played 6 years in the league.
