Princeton’s rangy, high-IQ linebacker with special-teams-ready juice
Jalen Jones is a dependable Princeton linebacker who has steadily carved out a role, playing in every game in the 2024 season and finishing with 7 tackles, including 3 against Howard and Penn. At about 5-foot-9, 180 pounds, he wins more with quickness, toughness, and instincts than brute size, and his high-school résumé points to a competitive, disciplined profile: two-time captain, First-Team All-CIF, and a scholar-athlete standout. He looks like a smart fit for a staff that values effort, football IQ, and versatility over flash.
