Jones was brimming with excitement in early 2012. The former Myrtle Beach offensive tackle had just signed with Kentucky, which belongs to the SEC.
A months earlier in November 2011, the Seahawks had reached the quarterfinals of the Class AAA playoffs, a solid followup to the team’s 2010 state championship.
When Jones departed for Kentucky in August 2012, his future looked bright. Then everything came crashing down with his arrest on a weapons charge in January 2013.
Now that the case has been dismissed, Jones’ is focus is back where he wants it to be – on football.
“You learn from every mistake and everything that’s happened,” Jones said Friday. “You just have to know that it happened in the past and become a better person from it.”
Jones was listed as an offensive tackle in the Kentucky 2012 media guide, but never saw any playing time.
The former Seahawk standout credited Florida A&M defensive backs coach Corey Fuller, a Florida State alumnus and NFL veteran, with convincing him to transfer to the Rattlers.
