Having David Jones back healthy will be mighty important to our success.
He played in only nine games with 33 tackles, two INTs.The Sunshine State
offers great high school football prospects and having 4 rostered players is
of great benefit to UR.

David has demonstrated in his first two seasons the ability to make big plays...this could be his season to become an anchor in the defensive backfield...he has a knack for being involved, or around big plays...

Coach says he wants to return to a positive turnover ratio...David should be able to help...

good luck for a healthy and positive season with lots of big plays...
