Jones is another excellent addition to the offense and will be able to help in a plethora of ways.

First and foremost, his size stands out. He is all of 6-foot-4, maybe pushing 5, and just under 200 pounds. He is a big kid and plays physical. He showed off that physicality in the spring and summer during the offseason, especially in the red zone. However, he wasn’t able to show it off much during the season. That leads in to the next aspect of his game.

The former UCLA commit is versatile. Very versatile. Not only is he a dangerous weapon on the outside, but he is also talented under center. Due to injury issues at the quarterback position, Jones was thrust into the role is did a great job. He actually has a very good arm and timing on his throws. which is helped by him being a receiver. He is also an effective safety and plays the ball naturally.

It seems the most under-appreciated aspect of his game is his speed. Jones is fast. Not “fast for his size”, but fast. Whether it’s covering the defensive backfield, running a route, or taking the snap and bouncing to the outside for a touchdown, he showcases his speed.

Arizona hasn’t had a receiver like him since the Hill Mary days when Austin Hill, Cayleb Jones, David Richards and Trey Griffey were all on the team. Jones will instantly bring a talent boost to the WR room as soon as he steps on campus.
