The Tigers desperately need some OL help and Jones could be the man to provide it down the road.
It appeared early in 4* OG Keiondre Jones’s recruitment that Auburn wasn’t going to be a major factor. Former offensive line coach, Herb Hand, had apparently prioritized some other targets over Jones and the big man looked destined to land at somewhere like Florida or Clemson. But things changed when JB Grimes arrived. The veteran OL coach immediately made Jones a top priority and Auburn vaulted to the top of the list. On July 14th, he committed to the Tigers. Today, he signed.

The big concern is obviously his weight. He actually carries it pretty well but I suspect Jones will need a redshirt year to further reshape his body and get in SEC OL shape. He also plays a bit top heavy due to the fact he’s just so much stronger than the majority of his opponents. But he’s got some outstanding tools and I expect him to one day be a high level contributor for the Tigers in the interior.
