Experienced UTEP linebacker with a tackle-first edge
Johnny Jones profiles as a physical, defense-first linebacker for UTEP, with documented production in his 2017 season that included 13 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble; that kind of splash-play profile suggests an aggressive, disruptive style when he’s around the ball. His value is in effort, toughness, and run support rather than headline-grabbing box score stats, making him more appealing to teams that want a reliable, high-motor LB who can bring edge and tone-setting energy.
