SCOUTING: As the Rockets gear up for an amazing run at the fifth straight Class 6A state football title, there are many locally - and across the state of Florida - who have taken for granted that this program has lost some quality prospects from last year. For those who know the sport and the landscape of this football program should comprehend that this football team, while losing so many talented individuals, have tremendous talent still on board. Here is a perfect example of a football prospect, perhaps overlooked by those who do not watch this team live, that have no clue about this tremendous defensive talent. With quality playmakers now moving to the next level, Jones is indeed a tremendous football player who has the chance to be one of those difference makers. After watching him play last year and in the spring this season, everyone on that defensive unit believes that here is the player who will help become that glue for a unit loaded with talent. Despite the loss of key prospects from the fourth consecutive title, the next wave of talent includes this young man who will certainly be a difference maker. Jones had a huge spring and green-white game as well, with plenty of colleges watching.
