Now a junior and with the experience of starting for a full season, Texas Longhorns safety Brandon Jones is intent on making a name for himself in 2018:
On National Signing Day in 2016, Jones made a high-profile announcement on national television, choosing the Longhorns over the Aggies and numerous other programs. Despite the fact that TexAgs had filmed an entire documentary about him. Ranked as the nation’s No. 1 safety, Jones was expected to come to Texas and make a quick impact.
As a freshman, Jones wasn’t quite ready for the demands of starting in the Big 12, struggling in his only start against Oklahoma State.
