Ashton Jones brings rare size and upside to SEMO’s defensive front
Ashton Jones is a 6-foot-2, 277-pound defensive lineman who arrived at Southeast Missouri State as a redshirt freshman after being rated a three-star recruit, and his background suggests real interior-upside rather than a finished product.[5][12] The clearest differentiators are his frame, track-and-field explosiveness, and production as a high-school defender, where he posted 35 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and a fumble recovery while also showing shot-put/discus strength.[5] He looks like a fit for a program that values size, power, and developmental potential over instant-star polish.[5][12]
