Football and Music: UH football’s Marcus Jones’ two passions

Sitting at Pro Football Focus’ fourth highest-rated defensive back in the country and tallying a total of 317 punt return yards, which leads the FBS and is a single-season American Athletic Conference record, are just a few of the many accomplishments for junior Marcus Jones in his first season with Houston.

But the 5-foot-8-inch cornerback has another talent off the field that not a lot of people know about — producing and recording his own music.

The Enterprise, Alabama, native has a musical background as his father mixed music on turntables as a hobby throughout Jones’ childhood.
