Austin is only 22 years old, 5’10” tall, and 200 pounds in weight. There have been moments during his time as the Trojans’ star player when he could have been the star of many other national programs. After Travis Dye’s season-ending injury, Jones was crucial to last year’s success and continued to be reliable even after MarShawn Lloyd took the starting position this year.

 

We will support Austin all the way and wish him well in the professional ranks.
