Name: Connor Jones
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 298 lbs.
High school: Monument (CO) Palmer Ridge
Position: Offensive guard
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #60 #76
Last year: I ranked Jones #99 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He played in two games.
TTB Rating: 65
Jones was an early enrollee in 2022 and earned playing time during the non-conference portion of the season. As most linemen should do, he was able to maintain his redshirt by playing in four games or fewer. Now going into his second year in the program, he has put on a little weight and changed jerseys from #60 to #76. Michigan is so deep on the offensive line that I don't think Jones will see much playing time this season.
Prediction: Backup offensive guard
Hard to imagine him breaking into even the top 10 of the OL. Our backup crew is better than most power 5 starting units. Hinton, Jones, Persi, El Hadi, Crippen, Anderson. Even Bo would be impressed.
ReplyDeleteShould be the Best OL since 2000 and probably the deepest I can remember.
