Four-Star Guard Payton Jones Schedules Official Visit to Cincinnati

Payton Jones, a four-star point guard in the 2027 class, has scheduled an official visit to the University of Cincinnati. According to a source who spoke with Rivals, the visit is set to take place on June 21st. This scheduled trip marks a significant step in the recruiting process for the young athlete.

Jones, a 6-foot-2 rising senior, currently plays for Beaumont Central High School in Texas. He is ranked as the No. 87 overall player in his class. The recruiting timeline for Jones accelerated recently, as he received an offer from the Bearcats just last month.

The upcoming visit to Cincinnati holds particular significance as it will be the first official visit for Jones. While the No. 87 overall recruit explores his options, the Bearcats have positioned themselves to be the first program to host him officially. This development highlights Cincinnati's active interest in securing talent from the 2027 class early in the cycle.
