David Jones showed off everything in the toolbox in Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep’s victory at University Lab. The 6-foot, 170-pound defensive back worked at both cornerback and deep at safety, while also scoring three long touchdowns as the focal point of the Chargers’ passing game. Jones also returned punts in this game. All three of Jones’ touchdowns came on balls launched downfield, where the electric defender broke away from coverage on two and won a 50-50 ball over the outstretched arms of a DB. Speed has been a topic of conversation surrounding Jones, but his play speed didn’t come up as a question in this one. Defensively, Jones patrolled the back end of the secondary aggressively. He showed off his range at safety to cover over the middle and out on the perimeter. He was racing to the ball often against the run, too Jones’ instinctual, ball-hawking play gives him position versatility as a complimentary piece on the back end.
