Benito Jones | Mississippi

Height: 6-1          Weight: 316

Jones started four of 12 games as a true freshman. He posted 39 tackles (4.5 for loss) on his way to Mississippi Class 5A Defensive Player of the Year. As the seasons progressed, so did his performance. He took his game to another level during his junior season when he set career-highs with 34 tackles, nine for loss, and three sacks.

Stats for his career as with the Rebels were 132 tackles, 31 for loss, 10.5 sacks and an INT, forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.

Jones possesses average power at the point of attack but can be disruptive when he’s actively attacking the gaps. He has good instincts and first-step quickness but lacks athleticism and overall size.
