In today’s Diamond in the Rough entry, I will be highlighting 2nd team all-district East Ascension linebacker Dajon Jones of the 2020 class. He sports a lean 6’3 225lb frame complemented with 4.7 speed and can bench up to 225lbs while squatting 345lbs. An imposing presence on the edge, Dajon consistently generates a pass rush and possesses elite closing speed. He isn’t afraid to bang in the trenches on run defense and flashes solid pass coverage skills for an edge rusher. A dominate player on the field, Dajon is an even a better person off it. You can feel how genuine of a person he is along with the deep love he has for his family. Throughout the conversation he exemplified a high level of maturity and is a very well-mannered individual. Here are a few highlights from the interview.
