Jones is a really good prospect holding power 5 offers from several schools including Kentucky from the SEC. As a player Jones is a 3-down back that is electric with the ball in his hand, he’s used in a variety of ways, Bartram Trail even splits him out to receiver where he shows natural hands catching the ball. As a runner he shows burst and acceleration through the hole, patience and instincts. Terrific prospect that will go and do big things at the next level.
