Carson Jones brings scrappy, return-to-form energy to Cal Poly’s linebacker room
After a 2023 season in which he played five games, logged four tackles, and was sidelined by a season-ending injury, Carson Jones enters 2026 as a tough, undersized-but-active Cal Poly linebacker with special-teams value and proven grit. He’s not the biggest name on the depth chart, but he has shown he can contribute in the box, flash in live action, and battle back after adversity — the kind of profile coaches trust when they want effort, toughness, and reliability over flash. If your team needs a high-motor defender with room to keep climbing, Jones is worth a look.
