experienced EKU WR with special-teams grit
Derius Jones has been a long-tenured Eastern Kentucky wideout, listed at 5-10 and 176 pounds as a redshirt senior, and he’s the kind of roster piece coaches usually love for reliability and versatility more than flash. EKU’s roster notes show he played in five games in his senior season and saw most of his action on special teams, which points to toughness, assignment discipline, and willingness to do the dirty work. He also has a history as a multipurpose player, which can make him a useful fit for depth and coverage units.
