The Deerfield quarterback had an opening performance for the ages. Jones accounted for over  300 total yards of offense and 5 touchdowns on his way to a 34-14 victory against DePaul Prep. What stood out most was his deep ball, as Jones threw perfectly placed balls on three passes of 30+ yards in the air. Jones threaded the needle with ease, often placing the ball directly over the outstretched arms of a DePaul Prep defensive back. Additionally, Jones was incredibly effective in the red zone and on intermediate balls while throwing on the run. The Class of 2025 signal caller burst onto the scene in this weekend’s game, throwing for more than half the total touchdowns in Friday’s game as he accounted for in his entire season a year ago.

Also mobile and can get out and complete throws on the edge as well as take off and run when needed. Promising sophomore campaign for the young Deerfield gunslinger. Let’s see how he builds on it as a now-upperclassman!
