FAYETTEVILLE — John Stephen Jones realized a boyhood dream Wednesday when he became a third-generation Arkansas football signee.
Jones, a quarterback from Highland Park near Dallas, signed during an event at his high school that was attended by his grandfather, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and his father, Cowboys executive vice president, Stephen Jones.
Jerry Jones lettered at Arkansas from 1962-64 and Stephen Jones lettered from 1984-87.
"It's a special day," John Stephen Jones told the Dallas Morning News. "I've been an Arkansas fan all my life and just to be able to go play for them, it's really special.
