Tony Jones Jr. didn't have to show up at the Sound Mind Sound Body camp.
He could have chosen to stay home and prepare for The Opening next month, but he told his father, Tony Sr., that he felt like competing against some of the nation's best this weekend.
The 4-star running back and Notre Dame pledge and U.S Army All-American's desire to attend at the last minute paid off when he met former Irish legend and recent NFL Hall of Fame inductee Jerome Bettis.
For the second consecutive year, Bettis, a Detroit native, was in town to speak with the throng of recruits during the camp's leadership sessions.
