Ole Miss recruiting 2016: Benito Jones is bulldozing his way into the playoffs

Five-star defensive tackle Benito Jones of Waynesboro, Miss. has been a handful for just about everyone in the Magnolia State this fall. The 6'1, 275-pound star from Wayne County High School has used his brute strength and sneaky quickness to get into opposing backfields and make offensive coordinator's lives miserable. Despite losing their season finale to Laurel 19-13, the War Eagles will host Picayune (Miss.) this week in the first round of the playoffs.

Jones will be leading the way on the defensive side of the football for Wayne County as he looks to pick up where he left off last week as he collected seven solo tackles in the hard-fought loss to the Tornadoes from Laurel.
