Eric Jones gives Tulane a veteran presence at right tackle
Eric Jones was a steady 2012 Tulane right tackle who started all 12 games, bringing reliability and toughness to an offense that leaned heavily on the pass. His biggest value was consistency: he helped anchor the line for a unit that averaged 319.5 total yards per game, with strong pass protection being the clearest differentiator. For a team evaluating fit, Jones profiles as a dependable, physical lineman rather than a flashy stat producer—useful if you want an experienced blocker who can handle full-time duty and stabilize the edge.
