Now healthy, Mike Jones gives Southern another weapon
HOUSTON, Texas -- Mike Jones puts on a show when he’s healthy.
The Southern University redshirt junior caught three passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday against Grambling in the Bayou Classic.
Last season against Alabama State, Jones finished with six catches for 211 yards and three touchdowns in place of then-starter Lee Doss.
Jones’ ankle injury has limited him for most of this season, so nearly half of his total 288 receiving yards came during the Bayou Classic.
Wide receivers coach Chris Coleman said the speedy receiver has been patient and humble throughout the recovery process, but Jones said injuries come with playing the sport.
“It’s something that you don’t want to deal with, but it’s part of the game,” Jones said. “Everybody experiences it in football.”
