Former blue-chip recruit looking for a bigger WR impact at Illinois State
Micah Jones brings legitimate pedigree and size to the Illinois State receiver room: the Gurnee, Illinois native was a consensus four-star recruit and is listed at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds, giving him an outside-target frame that can stress defensive backs vertically. His current on-field production at Illinois State has been modest so far, with 2 catches for 14 yards in 2021, so the appeal is more about ceiling than box-score dominance right now. If you want a developmental boundary receiver with upside and proven recruiting buzz, he’s worth monitoring.
