UK Football Player Preview: Jordan Jones will look for an even-keel senior season

Jordan Jones is often Kentucky’s most electrifying defensive player.

He’s also one of Kentucky’s most undisciplined players.

The rising senior linebacker finished fifth on the team in total tackles last year with 64. He was also third on the team in tackles for loss with 7.5, fifth on the team in sacks with two, and tied for second in quarterback hurries with three.

In addition to all that, he recorded one pass defense and one forced fumble. And he did all of that despite the fact that he missed four games with a shoulder injury.
