Kelley Jones has eye-catching showing at Alabama-MIssissippi All-Star Game
There isn’t a defensive back in Mobile who passes the eye test or made more plays on the football than Kelley Jones. He played on both sides of the ball for Clarksdale (Miss.) High primiarily was a quarterback and safety, but is working at cornerback at Alabama-Mississippi. Jones looks to be at or over 6-foot-3 with considerable length. He’s a natural at defensive back and didn’t have much trouble in sticking with a good group of Mississippi receivers. Jones used his length and ball skills to make a number of plays in coverage on Tuesday evening. He had an even better day on Wednesday afternoon, coming down with two interceptions and an impressive pass-breakup against Ayden Williams in the corner of the end zone. Mississippi State has made a living on landing tall, rangy corners as of late and Jones looks to be the next in line given his considerable physical gifts and upside.
