The son of a former LSU two-sport standout took part in LSU’s recruiting camp over the weekend.
[autotag]Chad Jones Jr.[/autotag] posted a photo of himself and [autotag]Frank Wilson[/autotag], saying he appreciated the opportunity to be there.
His father, [autotag]Chad Jones[/autotag], had an illustrious career at LSU.
Jones was a contributor on the 2007 national title team. In 2009, he was second team All-SEC and had one of the best single-game performances in LSU history against Mississippi State.

You might remember Jones’ from that week. Jones dodged several Bulldog defenders en route to a 94-yard punt return touchdown.
Who remembers this epic punt return led by @LSUfootball's Chad Jones against the Bulldogs in 2009? đ đ đ #ThrowbackThursday #BornToBeTigers pic.twitter.com/1Z7n674v7N

To go along with his football championship ring, Jones got one with the baseball team. He was a top reliever for Paul Mainieri’s group that year and helped clinch LSU’s title win in Omaha.
It doesn’t seem Jones Jr. has a scholarship offer from LSU, but it’s nice to see him at the recruiting camp. He plays for Southern Lab High School in Baton Rouge.
