From the ESPN article:
Returner: Marcus Jones, Troy
Jones had more touchdowns this season than Alabama star Calvin Ridley -- and Jones doesn't play offense. In addition to his pick-six on D, Jones took three kick returns to the house -- tied for third-most nationally -- and his 789 kick return yards ranked ninth nationally. Jones averaged 33 yards per return, 7 yards more than any other freshman and the fourth-best rate in FBS.

Marcus is such a talent. He will be a high draft pick when his time comes.

Hard to believe that he had so few offers. I know he's as good as anyone Auburn or Alabama has.

His pick in the LSU game and his pick 6 in the ARKST game are a big reason we are where we are right now. His impact cannot be overstated.

He took over the game at ASU. A lot of schools missed out on him. Very glad he is at Troy.

Great news for a special talent! I know the coaches were very excited when we got him! What pretty cool ... if you watch the replays of several of the kick returns, there are a number of his fellow Freshmen making big blocks as well! Talented/exciting group of young players!

Recruiting in our backyard is very important.
