Connor Jones is off to a strong start to his senior season.
One of the most undervalued members of Michigan’s 2022 recruiting class, Jones is quickly proving that he is need of a rankings bump. The three-star offensive tackle is a high ceiling prospect, plays with a mean streak and has served up plenty of pancakes over his first two games.
Most recently, Jones helped lead Monument (Colo.) Palmer Ridge to a thrilling victory over Colorado Springs (Colo.) Mesa Ridge.
“Our offensive line and our running backs really stepped up,” Jones said. “We took control of the game and pulled ourselves out of some sticky situations. I’m proud of all of our boys. We put up a good fight. Our goal is to go undefeated. I want to have the best senior season ever. I don’t want to have any regrets when I get to Michigan.”
Jones committed to Michigan on Christmas Eve last year over offers from Colorado State, Indiana, Northwestern, Oregon State, Virginia, West Virginia and others.
Since then, Jones has remained completely solid and is one of the leaders of the class. Jones made his official visit to Michigan over the summer and is set to be back on campus with his future teammates this weekend when the Wolverines host Washington in a massive matchup.
