For UW’s Ty Jones, playing Utah means a trip home and facing a school he nearly attended

Ty Jones has already secured more than 30 tickets for Washington’s game at Utah on Saturday. At least 15 other people have asked for tickets, too, so he’s working on finding more.

Luckily for Jones, there are only two other players on UW’s roster from Utah, and they’re both true freshmen. That means Jones, whose hometown of Provo is just 45 miles outside of Salt Lake City, has a chance at those extra seats.

It also means he’ll have more fans in Rice-Eccles Stadium than any other Husky.

“It’ll be pretty exciting,” Jones said, “and I’ll probably be a little nervous for the game, as I am every game, but it should be cool to go back.
