'18 CU LB Mike Jones (Transfer Portal)

[HoleInTheRoof]

Mike Jones Jr., a redshirt sophomore linebacker, has entered the transfer portal, according to multiple sources. Because the NCAA granted an additional season to fall student-athletes because of COVID-19 concerns, Jones will have three years of eligibility remaining.

He started seven games this season and missed time because of injury but still had 359 snaps, 30 tackles, four for loss of yardage, four pass breakups and two interceptions, including one in the Sugar Bowl national semifinal loss to Ohio State in New Orleans. He redshirted as a freshman in 2018 after playing three games and then played in all 15 games in 2019.

Jones is a Nashville, Tennessee, native who played two years of high school football at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He was considered a top-10 outside linebacker by ESPN and top-15 by 247Sports.

He was projected to be a starter for Clemson this year.

Maybe he will chose the better shade of Orange and come back home.

All the Jokes aside, I'd take him in a heartbeat. We need some depth at LB with Crouch and To'oto'o leaving. We should theoretically have a better LBs coach this year as well.

Hubbs said if he decides to come here it would have to be today because of our drop add deadline for classes.

They mentioned his ties to the Mays family, and from a business perspective- playing time - were a great fit for him.

This dude would be a instant impact guy for us. He’s talented but was starting to lose playing time to another otherworldly recruit Clemson nabbed.

Maybe the most important part is that he’s one of Clemson’s defensive leaders. This guy would probably be team captain for the defense by the end of fall camp

Crouch was hella underwhelming, he was probably better suited to be a power RB.

based on some on VN, it was ALL the coaches fault. I agree he would have been more impactful as a RB

He did not want to play RB because of the wear on the body.

Apparently whiffing on slants is much easier on your joints.
