It only seems like yesterday that Chris Jones was the talk of the state of Mississippi.
Rated as the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect out of Houston High School in 2013 by 247Sports, the defensive lineman was the central figure in one of the Magnolia State’s most hotly-contested recruiting battles in recent memory. Depending on the source, Jones was reportedly bound for both Mississippi State and Ole Miss in the hours leading up to National Signing Day that year. Ultimately, he put his name on the dotted line to come to Starkville.
Jones is now about to begin his third season at Mississippi State.
