Seton Hall Handing Over Reins to Wake Forest Transfer Madison Jones

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. — When Madison Jones was in high school at the Raleigh (N.C.) Ravenscroft School, he considered Seton Hall along with Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Richmond.

“They recruited me out of high school and they offered me then,” the 6-foot-2 Jones said of Seton Hall on Tuesday. “I actually came up on a visit when I was in high school and I liked it a lot.”

But the North Carolina native ultimately chose Wake Forest, where he spent three years until he was dismissed in August 2015 after he was charged with driving while impaired and had his driver’s license revoked.

Seton Hall stayed in touch and offered him a second chance. After sitting down with head coach Kevin Willard, Jones joined the team in June, as first reported by ZAGSBLOG.

“Everything happens for a reason and now I’m here,” Jones said.
