The sheer depth at the cornerback position was a well-known commodity going into this season, but the emergence of cornerback Miketavius Jones has been as big a surprise as any this season.
Jones has been a special teams mainstay during his time in Stillwater, and his experience has prepared him well to boost him to his early season success. Gundy talked on his radio show this week about his center of balance skills being well sharpened after playing special teams, which has allowed him to excel in his new hybrid type role at cornerback. Last week, he was able to hunt down the quarterback to force the first turnover of many against UTSA.
