Jarrian Jones NFL Draft 2024: Scouting Report for Florida State CB
James Gilbert/Getty Images
— Positional versatility to align and play out of nickel and outside cornerback.
— Good tackling fundamentals. Wraps up well and brings defenders down with a strong upper body. Rarely allows lower-body tackles to get away from him.
— Twitchy/explosiveness at the line of scrimmage. Triggers quickly to get into backfield for tackles for losses, slot corner blitzes and blowing up screens.
— Hip tightness can limit his ability to transition out of a backpedal against shiftier receivers.
— Struggles with pad level at times. Can occasionally play tall in man coverage, allowing his leverage to be beaten.
— 12 G, 25 TOT, 5 TFL, 1.0 SK, 3 INT, 3 PD, 1 FF, 1 FR
— 4-star recruit in the 2019 class, per 247Sports
— 2023 All-ACC honorable mention
— Transferred from Mississippi State to Florida State in 2020
Jarrian Jones is an experienced cornerback who started his career at Mississippi State before transferring to Florida State. In 2023, he was an All-ACC honorable mention, was named the FSU Defense Most Improved Player and received the Bobby Bowden Leadership Award.
Jones does his best work when playing in man coverage. He does a great job staying hip to hip with receivers, has the communication skills to pass off or switch defenders based on alignments and shows very good route recognition when downfield.
Jones has the speed to stay with faster receivers downfield and covers ground quickly. When in zone coverage, he has the vision and football IQ to make plays on the ball with quick reaction and timing.
As a run defender, Jones is a physical player who isn’t afraid to get in the mix. He quickly identifies the run and closes ground with proper leverage. When taking on blocks in space, he uses his elusiveness and short-area quickness to beat blocks.
Jones is a solid cornerback with versatility to line up across the field. He has the explosiveness and speed to compete in the NFL. While he likely will provide depth in the beginning, he has a chance to compete for playing time as he gets acclimated to the NFL.
GRADE: 5.9 (Backup/Draftable — 6th Round)

Florida couple in alleged embryo mix-up have identified biological parents of ‘non-caucasian’ baby
A Florida couple who claimed a fertility clinic error led the woman giving birth to a “non-Caucasian child” who was not related to them said they have identified their child’s biological parents, according to reports.
“The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified,” Tiffany Score and Steven Mills said in a statement obtained by People on Wednesday.
Score and Mills filed a lawsuit in January against Fertility Center of Orlando and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, alleging that another patient’s embryo was implanted in Score’s uterus in April 2025.
The mix-up led to the birth of their now 4-month-old daughter, Shea, who is not biologically related to them, the filing alleged.
“This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved,” the statement continued. “In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.”
“Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born —we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”
The couple added that they will respect the privacy of Shea’s biological parents and will keep their identities “confidential.”
Score and Mills, who are both white, stored three viable embryos at the Longwood clinic in 2020 for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until pregnancy.
Five years later, after an embryo was implanted, the couple gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” on Dec. 11, 2025, according to the lawsuit filed Jan. 22 in Orange County Circuit Court and obtained by Law & Crime.
“Tragically, while both Jane Doe and John Doe are racially Caucasian, Baby Doe displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,” the lawsuit said.
Further genetic testing confirmed that baby Shea had no biological relationship to either parent — raising questions about where their embryos had gone or whether another woman was impregnated with their biological child.
The new parents had an “intensely strong emotional bond” with their child during pregnancy and wished to keep the girl, but recognized she “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents so long as they are fit, able and willing to take her,” the lawsuit stated.
Scarola told People, following Wednesday’s development, that Shea’s biological parents have not made any requests to take her into custody.
“Remaining questions about the fate of Tiffany and Steven’s unaccounted for embryos…are still pending,” Scarola said.
“The current legal proceeding will remain open to address those matters,” the attorney added. “However, we expect that we will now also begin to focus on the need for our clients to be compensated for the expenses they have incurred and the severe emotional trauma that they endured and will continue to experience.”
The Fertility Clinic of Orlando announced earlier this month that it would close by May 20 — a decision leadership said was made after “thoughtful consideration.”
Neither Scarola nor the clinic immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.

Florida investigating AI role in mass shooting at university
Florida on Tuesday announced a criminal probe into whether artificial intelligence played a role in a deadly mass shooting at a university in the US state.
“If ChatGPT were a person, it would be facing charges for murder,” Uthmeier said.
Florida law allows anyone who assists or counsels someone in the commission of a crime to be treated as an “aider and abettor” bearing the same responsibility as the perpetrator, according to Uthmeier.
In exchanges with ChatGPT, the accused shooter sought advice on what type of gun and ammunition to use, as well as where and when on campus a lot of people would likely be found, the state attorney general said during a press briefing.
“Last year’s mass shooting at Florida State University was a tragedy, but ChatGPT is not responsible for this terrible crime,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.
