On a deeply-talented Woodford County team, Neo Davis-Jones Neo Davis-Jones 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Woodford County | 2028 State KY has separated himself from the pack in terms of next-level potential at this point. While running back Chris Lucas Chris Lucas RB Woodford County | 2028 KY supplies major production from the backfield, Davis-Jones is a weapon all over the field. As a wide receiver it’s not out of the norm to see him get the ball on jet sweeps or other plays designed to let him work in space. Watching some early film from this season, the 6-foot, 165-pounder also dishes out punishment as a blocker, too. Flipping to the defensive side of the ball, he plays an aggressive style of outside linebacker who has no problem picking off poorly thrown passes. It wouldn’t shock me to see him move back to safety or a nickel at some point in his career.
