MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Nicholas Jones, a catcher from Providence Catholic High School in Illinois, has signed a National Letter of Intent and will join the University of Memphis baseball squad for the 2019 season, head coach Daron Schoenrock announced.
"Nick possesses tremendous bat speed and will provide much needed power to future Tiger lineups. Our entire coaching staff is excited with Nick's potential to change a game with one swing, especially when it can come from the catching position," Schoenrock said.
A member of back-to-back Illinois State Championship teams, Jones batted .412 with four home runs and 21 RBI last season.
