John Jones brings proven burst and a big-play history to Tennessee Tech’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Tennessee Tech RB John Jones is listed on the roster as a 5-10, 205-pound redshirt junior, and ESPN shows 38 carries for 143 yards, a 3.8-yard average, and no touchdowns so far. He stands out less as a stat-stuffer right now and more as a steady, physical option with prior production: in the 2019 season, Tennessee Tech credited him with 25 carries for 41 yards, while the same program bio notes he previously averaged 134.2 rushing yards per game and 7.9 yards per carry in a breakout stretch. If you want a back with size, a track record of explosive efficiency, and a team-first profile, Jones is worth a look.
