Mike Jones Jr. is having more fun practicing with Clemson right now than he ever has.
That’s because after redshirting during the 2018 season and then backing up Isaiah Simmons in 2019, Jones has been getting most of the starting reps at the strong-side linebacker position since the Tigers began spring practice on Feb. 26.
The Nashville, Tenn., native and IMG (Fla.) Academy product is starting to see all the work he has put in over the past two years pay off.
“I have had to develop a lot of patience, but it’s good,” Jones said on Friday.
