Mike Jones Jr., LSU, Player News
|
LSU backup linebacker and team captain Mike Jones said after the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl he will declare for the 2023 NFL Draft instead of returning for a sixth season of college football. On the field after the 63-7 win Monday, Jones told The Advocate he h ad played his last game and would "take my talents to the league." "This is it," Jones later told WAFB. "The old dog's last walk around the park. Go Tigers, forever."Jones transferred to LSU in 2021 after three seasons at Clemson, where he had pla yed as a hybrid linebacker/safety. Jones wanted to move to inside linebacker, but he never consistently broke into the starting lineup in two seasons. After starting the first four games of the year, Jones slipped out of the linebacker rotation and prima rily played special teams this season. He got to play more in the bowl game and made one tackle. Though Jones didn't appear as much on the field, he had a crucial role as one of three permanent captains while LSU transitioned to coach Brian Kelly. He was chosen to represent the team at Southeastern Conference media days in July. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Five returning players most likely to put together breakout seasons in 2022: Mike Jones, junior linebacker,...The Clemson transfer seems ready to make an impact in his junior season after playing a big role in the LSU defense's late improvement in 2021. The former blue-chip recruit made a strong case to take over the middle linebacker role in the spring, showing good communication skills. With Damone Clark no longer in the field, Jones gets his chance to become a leader on defense. - Baton Rouge Advocat e
