Benny Jones gives Missouri State a hard-nosed depth option at running back
Jones is a rugged walk-on back who adds dependable depth at running back and on special teams, and Missouri State’s staff has highlighted him as a physical, team-first piece rather than a volume-stat producer. He’s the kind of player coaches value for toughness, practice consistency, and willingness to do the dirty work, which can matter as much as raw rushing totals in a complementary role. If you need a reliable downhill runner who fits a blue-collar room and can help in multiple phases, he looks like a sensible roster fit.
