West Virginia Mountaineers Secure Commitment from Jaylon Jones
MORGANTOWN, WV – The West Virginia Mountaineers football team has announced the commitment of defensive back Jaylon Jones from Fresno City College in California. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete made his pledge following an official visit to Morgantown over the weekend.
Jones showcased his skills during his freshman season, where he tallied five interceptions, catching the eye of safeties coach Gabe Franklin. His successful junior college career highlights his potential fit in West Virginia’s defensive scheme. With three years of eligibility remaining, Jones could play various roles in the secondary, including safety.
Known for his strong cover skills, Jones excels in tracking the ball and making plays in space. His size, speed, and tackling ability will be vital for a Mountaineers defense set to lose several key players due to graduation next year.
Historically, California hasn’t been a prime recruiting ground for the Mountaineers, but the junior college circuit has produced talent in the past. The coaching staff is looking to continue building on this momentum as they assess future recruits to fill gaps in their defensive lineup. Jones represents a strategic step in reshaping West Virginia’s roster with much-needed speed and athleticism.
