Shortly after winning yet another state title with De, Samm went into an interview with Channel 45 with the instructions “do not look at the camera.” What ensued went viral, but that’s a different story.
Now that his incredibly successful high school career is behind him, Samm has a plethora of collegiate options.
“I have a great academic package from Drake, so I might set up a preferred walk-on deal there,” Jones told NHR. “I’m still strongly considering St. Thomas, and I’m still considering St. Olaf a little. I’m still waiting to hear back on Notre Dame, Northwestern and Amherst on acceptance. I will possibly still take visits to Minot State, because if I really like it there it’s free, so I would consider it. And via Will Moreton (Edina forward), Stonehill still has three scholarships and is looking, so I’m sending them film this week.”
Wow, everything from elite D3s to NSIC to high academic D1s seems to be on the table. For Jones, the decision will be about what area he ultimately chooses to study.
“The only issue is not knowing what I want to study,” Jones said. “I want to be a teacher and coach one day, so going to an elite school isn’t necessary for that. But parents and coaches want me to aim higher because of my credentials, so that plays a part in my decision… what I’m going to study and pursue.”
