Jones has big cleats to fill

For a receiver, 1,391 yards and 14 touchdowns are statistics far from mediocre. Mike Thomas did exactly this last season for Southern Miss. No. 88’s exciting senior year proved to be nothing less than amatuer. After a season like that, inheriting the number 88 is not a small task. Well for wide receiver Isaiah Jones, one question lingers. Can he be the next Mike Thomas?

Jones was heavily recruited out of high school, racking up nine scholarships. Among those offers were those from Arkansas, Georgia, Louisville, Marshall, Miami and Florida State. Jones decided to take his talents to Tallahassee, FL to become a Seminole.
