D.J. Jones – Senior

Jones is very familiar with our first opponent, FSU. He was recruited hard by Florida State and chose the Rebels over the Seminoles.

Jones is a big and strong nose tackle. He is going to vital at stopping Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette, and Nick Chubb this season.

If Jones can make a good impression this season, he could see himself move up into the NFL draft discussion.

Jones will be joining defensive tackle Breeland Speaks on the inside of the defensive line and will be an important piece.
