Jones is a do-everything kind of player, who lines up as a dual-threat quarterback on offense and a tough-nosed linebacker on defense for Aquinas Institute. The 6-3”, 230-pound, athlete picked up 715 yards passing with five touchdowns and ran for another 205 yards with another score in 2014 in a Wildcat offense, but also made his mark on defense. Jones was credited with 47 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, and had a pick-six in eight games played.

College coaches in the northeast have flocked to Rochester in hopes of forging a relationship with the two-way athlete.
