The Catholic (Baton Rouge) tackle became the fourth in-state standout to share his intentions of playing offensive line for the Tigers at the next level.
Jones joined Neville’s Will Campbell Will Campbell 6'6" | 290 lbs | OL Neville | 2022 State LA and Newman’s Bo Bordelon Bo Bordelon 6'5" | 250 lbs | OL Newman | 2022 State LA , as well as Lafayette Christian star Fitzgerald West Fitzgerald West 6'2" | 300 lbs | OL Lafayette Christian | 2022 State LA Jr., the two-way lineman coach Ed Orgeron and his staff are projecting as a center.
LSU had signed just two offensive linemen in 2021 and three in 2022 total — all from out of state — before this particularly strong cycle.
