Three-Star, Two-Way Prep LB with Development Upside at New Mexico
Marquis Jones arrived at New Mexico as a 247Sports three-star linebacker and a four-year starter from Trinity Catholic, where he earned All-District and First Team All-Defense honors and built a reputation as a two-way player with toughness and field awareness[1][2]. At 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, he profiles as an athletic, high-motor defender whose background in sports medicine suggests a mature, detail-oriented approach to the game[1]. He’s a good fit for a team that values developmental linebackers with versatility, competitive instincts, and room to add strength.
