All he needs for a refresher course is a trip home for a family gathering over the holidays.
“I have a sister that goes to Jackson State, an older brother that just graduated from Arkansas-Pine Bluff, a cousin that plays basketball at Arkansas-Pine Bluff and another cousin that plays baseball at Southern,” said Jones, the senior defensive end. “Everybody is my rival. If we go to Louisiana, we have to beat (Southern and Grambling). Pine Bluff, I have to beat them. Jackson State, that’s a must.”
It’s bad enough twin sister Calandra is a student at Jackson State.
