The Clemson Insider recently caught up with Jones about his upcoming senior season, the Tigers’ recent commitment from Lawrenceville (Ga.) Archer five-star cornerback Andrew Booth, and more.

10+ TDs between Offense, Defense, and Special Teams
No TDs given up
1st Team All Everything”
TCI: What are your thoughts on Andrew Booth joining the 2019 class following the All In Cookout last month?
Jones: “Great addition. I was recruiting bro hard and we already have that relationship. It’s gonna be crazy come these next 3-4 years.”
TCI: How excited are you to team up with Booth and how good do you think you guys can be as a cornerback duo in the future?
Jones: “I believe we’ll be the best because that’s all we know is to be the best at what we do.”
TCI: How do you feel about the way the 2019 class has shaped up overall to this point?
