David Jones brings compact, physical safety upside to MTSU
Jones is a 5-11, 197-pound safety with a recruiting profile built on toughness and two-way production, including 1,197 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns, 71 tackles, and five forced fumbles in his senior high school season, which signals a player who thrives in contact and has real playmaking instincts[1]. His value is less about eye-popping measurables and more about rugged effort, defensive willingness, and a background that suggests competitive juice and versatility, making him a fit for a defense that wants physicality and reliability in the back end[1].
