A 3-star signee in the class of 2017, Jones was unlikely to see much action this fall anyway, but you never want to see a young player lose a chance to practice and develop his skills.
According to 247Sports, Jones was the No. 134 receiver in the class of 2017 and the No. 131 overall recruit from the state of Florida.
Now, he’ll likely redshirt during the 2017 season and try to come back at full strength next year.
