Curtis Jones Jr.: West Virginia Linebacker, Not Marshall WR
There is no Marshall Thundering Herd wide receiver named Curtis Jones; the only Curtis Jones in college football is Curtis Jones Jr., a 6'4", 226-lb sophomore linebacker for the West Virginia Mountaineers (not Marshall), born in Huntington, WV. In the 2025 season, he recorded 13 solo tackles, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble while playing primarily on special teams after joining as a freshman in 2024 with 78 total plays (74 on special teams). His differentiators include elite size for a linebacker, high-intensity special teams contribution, and local roots in Huntington. He is not a fit for a team seeking a WR, but an excellent fit for a defense needing a physical, big-bodied LB with special teams versatility. No injury history is reported, and his personality reflects a dedicated, team-first sophomore focused on depth and special teams impact.
