Harry Jones, Hogs' star in the '60s, dies
Wingback Harry Jones was the first Arkansas football player to make the cover of Sports Illustrated, a copy of which hangs in a frame behind him. “I was totally in awe of that,” said Jones, who played five seasons in the NFL after three seasons with Arkansas. FAYETTEVILLE — Harry Jones, a standout on the Razorbacks’ national championship team of 1964 and the first University of Arkansas athlete to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, has passed away.
Jones, 71, died of a heart attack Sunday morning, a source close to the family said.
