Jules is fairly young, so there is little information on him for gauging his skill level. His list of all-time recruits includes all 3-star athletes from Miami (FL), Tallahassee (FL), Saint Augustine (FL), and Duncanville (TX). He is considered by the Nick Saban and Kirby Smart staffs to be an up-and-comer.
