RJ Jones II brings four-star pedigree and high-academic reliability to Utah Tech’s secondary
RJ Jones II is a promising **defensive back** with proven pedigree: Utah Tech lists him as a former **four-star ESPN and Rivals recruit**, a 2024 **Big Ten Academic Honor Roll** selection, and a **CIF Southern Section Division 1 champion** at St. John Bosco; at UCLA, he appeared in one game in 2023 and recorded one tackle, then redshirted in 2024, so his on-field college sample is still very small. His best differentiators are length, upside, and discipline — he looks like a development bet for a staff that values athletic ceiling, coachability, and a player who can grow into a role rather than needing to be a finished product on day one.[5][3][1]
