Husker Extra is running a four-week series called Heat Index, a quick look at the Huskers before fall camp. This week, Parker Gabriel counts down the five true freshmen, outside of quarterback Adrian Martinez, who could make an immediate impact.
The kid was a dynamite stick for American Heritage High, which mounted an undefeated season in Florida’s biggest classification and played against some of the best talent the state has to offer. Former NFL corner and Heritage head coach Patrick Surtain raves about Jones’ explosiveness and toughness. The freshman might also have something to say about the return game battles.
