About Jerrod
Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the most underrated backs in the state, Jones has been on a tear throughout his senior campaign. Through 7 games he’s just shy of 650 rushing yards and has tallied 5 rushing TDs while averaging almost 6 yards per carry. Jones also has 3 receiving TDs and an additional 117 yards through the air. He’s also a solid defender, recording 18 total tackles, 8 TFLs, 1 INT, and 1 PBU. Combining impressive pop out of the backfield with incredible patience as a runner, Jones can create a lot of problems for defenses.

Jones is one of the quickest running backs in this class. He has great speed in the open field, but what sets him apart as a running back is how fast he comes out of his cuts. He isn’t a guy who will make three or four cuts in a small area. He will come out of his first cut with so much acceleration he doesn’t need those extra cuts. He has solid vision approaching the line of scrimmage and in the open field. The junior will catch the ball out of the backfield and the slot. Jones will reset the field position game with his excellent punt return skills.

Read EvaluationMark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Jerrod was an athlete who caught my eyes while taking in the RBs vs LBs in 1 on 1s. Jerrod is an undersized back at 5’5″ 145 lbs, so he needs to be a threat out in space. He proved he could be at the Showcase. His route running and burst out of his breaks was simply unfair for LBs. Jerrod is able to play so fast and agile, opening up huge voids of separation and easily plucking the ball out of the air. That agility showed up in the testing results. He posted back to back 4.5 shuttle times, a 4.78 40, and 7.12 L-Drill. The threat out in space deserves a look.
