Darryon Jones brings a pocket-passer frame and committed upside to Jackson State
A Class of 2026 quarterback from Venice High School, Darryon Jones is listed at 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and is committed to Jackson State; ESPN labels him a **pocket passer**, which fits a QB who should win with structure, timing, and size rather than pure scramble-heavy chaos. [2] He has already flashed production in a meaningful high-school win, throwing for 154 yards in Venice’s 29-22 victory over Port Charlotte, a useful hint that he can handle competitive game environments. [4] If your team wants a physically mature signal-caller with a traditional passing profile, Jones is a prospect worth monitoring. [2][4]
