Jacob Jones Jacob Jones 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB East Jessamine | 2023 State KY started off the season as our top ranked quarterback in the state and he held on to his spot with a strong senior season. He had an incredible final season of high school football, completing 166/263 passes for 2,415 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Jones has a cannon for an arm, showing the ability to lead his receivers down the field and hit them in stride in the deep passing game. He also uses his arm strength to zip passes into tight windows in the short and intermediate passing game. Jones is also very dangerous as a ball carrier. He finished the season with 205 carries for 1,741 yards and 28 touchdowns. West Jessamine used this to their advantage with many designed quarterback runs in their playbook this season. Jones is committed to Grambling State where I see him being able to shine at the quarterback position once he gets his chance.
