Safety Gavin Jones Verbals to USU

Snow College Sophomore, Gavin Jones, is excited to join the Aggies under Andersen’s regime. One of his first tasks, changing into a much more becoming blue and white jersey. After that he’ll fit right in. Jones was quoted in the Herald Journal as saying:

“Their defensive scheme is a lot like I’ve always played in and that’s a man coverage, very aggressive defense,” said Jones, who served an LDS Church mission to Mongolia. “I want to continue playing in that kind of defense.”

At 6′ 3″ and 185 lbs, Gavin Jones is not your typical corner back, a position normally dominated by short speedsters. However, in today’s day of spread offenses and big receivers, Jones might prove to be a defensive luxury for the Aggies.

Jones, corner/safety, should provide immediate help for the Aggie’s secondary. The departures of corner back, Kejon Murphy, and safety, James Brindley, both veterans and leaders, will leave some holes to be filled for next year. Jones, team captain at Snow College, could assume a leadership role on defense.

Gavin hopes to help contribute in turning the Aggie’s into a winning football team again. He has always played on winning teams and has helped in securing wins with big plays in crunch time. For example: in the first game of the season Gavin blocked a field goal to help preserve a late game lead against the Scottsdale Artichokes.

Whether he contributes as a safety, cornerback, on special teams or a combination of the three, Aggies should be excited to see him wearing a blue and white Aggie uniform next season.
