Scouting Report on Chris Jones

How we scouted: Film footage, In-person visits, Camp settingby Barry Every - 08/26/2009

On the Hoof: A very lean, long-limbed body structure. Is built a lot like fellow Rivals100 prospect Chris Dunkley, but Jones is a little taller.
Needs Improvement: Will need to add some size and strength to combat man coverage at the next level. This added size can also help with shielding defenders off the ball and with durability.
Most Impressive: Has excellent speed, catches the ball away from his body and can leap out of the building. Jones is a very smooth runner with the ball in his hands and he can make people miss.
Conclusion: Has the size of an inside receiver but the speed to become a serious vertical threat. Don't be surprised if he gets a shot at kickoff returns. If Jones proves he can run sharp, crisp routes, he will most likely play as a freshman. Expect him to score a lot of touchdowns in his college career.

Yet any college football connoisseur knows the backbone is the assistant coach who spends countless hours making calls, in-home visits and wooing top recruits. Will Muschamp was one of the guys that got it done in the Big 12 this year. Rivals.com goes deeper to name our top 10 recruiters in each conference.
