Jones has good size for an outside rusher at 6'412 and 245 pounds, and should have no trouble transitioning to the collegiate level from a physical standpoint.
Andrew Ivins, the Southeast recruiting analyst for the website, has compared Jones to current and former University of Washington pass-rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, who has three sacks as a first-round pick.

With Smart at the controls, the Dogs have the lowest points allowed per game in the nation.
