Sam Houston's Reliable Slot WR from the Late 2000s Era
Darnell Jones, a key contributor for the Sam Houston Bearkats in 2009, started eight games as a wide receiver, ranking fourth on the team with 20 receptions for 261 yards and five catches for 52 yards in standout performances—showcasing his dependable hands and route-running reliability as a redshirt player who earned a starting role through grit and consistency. Ideal for teams needing a tough, no-drama possession receiver who steps up in critical moments, though his production dates to the FCS level pre-2010 conference shifts.
