Sophomore wide receiver J.J Jones crosses the end-zone for his first touchdown in his UNC football career.

North Carolina wide receiver [autotag]J.J. Jones[/autotag] has caught his first touchdown in his UNC career.

The three-star sophomore out of Myrtle Beach came up big for North Carolina on their first drive. Already down wide receivers Josh Downs and Antoine Green, UNC needed someone to step up, and Jones answered that call early.

On the first drive, Jones made two big splash plays, the first being a 31-yard catch to put UNC on ASU 34 yard line. Then just three plays later, Jones crossed the end-zone on a sweet pass by quarterback Drake Maye for a 23-yard touchdown.

This was an excellent start for the sophomore, recording his first touchdown as a Tar Heel.
