Former Clemson Defender Reportedly Hired to LSU’s Staff

A former Clemson and LSU linebacker is reportedly headed back to Baton Rouge – this time, as a member of the Bayou Bengals’ staff.

Mike Jones Jr. has been hired by LSU as an analyst, according to multiple reports.

LSU and Clemson, of course, will meet to open the 2025 season at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 30.

Jones played two seasons at LSU (2021-22) after starting his career at Clemson (2018-20). A 2020 Clemson graduate, he transferred to LSU in the summer of 2021 and was named a permanent team captain prior to the start of the 2022 campaign.
