Ricky Jones was an efficient, dependable Indiana target with big-play chops
In the 2026 Indiana record book, Ricky Jones is the kind of receiver coaches love: productive, steady, and hard to ignore, finishing his Hoosier career with 111 catches for 1,814 yards and 8 touchdowns, including 5 career 100-yard games and 26 starts. He wasn’t a towering boundary bully at 5-10, but he compensated with reliability, separation ability, and enough burst to stack chunk plays. The fit factor? He looks like a polished, proven chain-mover who could thrive in a system that values toughness, timing, and quick processing.
