Scout TV: 2010 RB Tony Jones

While many are focusing on the Class of 2008 we had a chance to see one of New Jersey’s best for the Class of 2010 in Ramsey native Tony Jones on Saturday night. Right now Jones is part of a backfield that features three running backs, however next year he will most likely start to shoulder a much bigger load in the Ironmen offense.

Tony Jones may be a bit small at 5-foot-6.5, 160 pounds, but what he lacks in sheer size he makes up for with speed and agility. The Don Bosco Prep running back shared the ball with two other ball carriers on Saturday night, however he managed 99 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries and also added 109 kick return yards and a 21-yard catch. Most importantly, Jones turned it on when his team needed him most when tied late in the 4th quarter with a 25-yard touchdown run to win the game and a 41-yarder to seal it. It is very early for this young athlete, however he talked a bit about schools like USC, LSU, Boston College, North Carolina State, Penn State, Pittsburgh and Rutgers with us.
