UTEP's Aaron Jones is C-USA player of the week

It would be bigger news if Aaron Jones was not the Conference USA player of the week following a 301-yard and four-touchdown performance against North Texas on Saturday.

The Burges High School graduate led UTEP to a 52-24 victory and broke the school's single-season rushing record, finishing the year with 1,773 rushing yards.

Jones, a junior, is No. 3 nationally and only the eighth Conference USA player to rush for over 300 yards in a game.

After the game, Jones said he will ask the NFL for a draft grade and then talk with his coach and family before deciding on his future.
