Rase Jones brings compact, ready-to-roll linebacker energy to Austin Peay
Rase Jones is a 6-foot, 224-pound junior linebacker for Austin Peay in the 2026 season, and the profile screams sturdy, physical depth with room to pop if he earns a bigger role. He isn’t carrying public stat-chasing hype, but his fit is clear: a strong build, in-state SEC-adjacent-tested toughness, and the kind of downhill linebacker frame that usually translates to special teams and run support work. For a staff needing reliable contact, effort, and development upside, he looks like a sensible add rather than a splashy headline.
