Senior tight end scored 5 TDs in Jaguars’ final 2 games of 2023
South Alabama tight end DJ Thomas-Jones warms up as fall camp starts Wednesday, July 31, 2024, in Mobile, Ala. Most college football players are a bit sad and disappointed to see any season end, but that was especially the case with South Alabama’s DJ Thomas-Jones as 2023 came to a close.
Though he possesses the speed to get down the field, the 6-foot-2, 259-pound Thomas-Jones has been used mostly in short-yardage and red zone situations during his two years at South Alabama. In 23 games with the Jaguars since transferring from Ole Miss prior to the 2022 season, he has totaled 47 receptions for 419 yards with eight touchdowns.
“I like that he’s creating value for himself as a player, understand what to do. He’s obviously a great athlete, route-runner, catcher. He’s learning how to play on the end of the line of scrimmage and block people and he’s got tremendous strength and bend. He’s trying to complete his game.”Rob Ezell was the Jaguars’ tight ends coach from 2021-23 before replacing Applewhite as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach when the latter moved up to the head coach’s office.
Bowling Green transfer Andrew Bench joined the team prior to spring practice, and looks to be ticketed for major playing time this fall. Over the summer, freshman signee Will Loerzel and Texas Southern transfer Rod Gibbs also came aboard.
