Star Syracuse linebacker Mikel Jones has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 'Cuse junior will conclude his career ranked 14th as one of just 17 players in program history to eclipse 300 career tackles. Jones – the captain of the SU defense – was a Butkus Award Semifinalist this season. Despite an injury hampering him down the stretch, he still garnered All-ACC accolades.
