The son of a former LSU two-sport standout took part in LSU’s recruiting camp over the weekend.

Chad Jones Jr. posted a photo of himself and Frank Wilson, saying he appreciated the opportunity to be there. 

His father, Chad Jones, had an illustrious career at LSU.

Jones was a contributor on the 2007 national title team. In 2009, he was second team All-SEC and had one of the best single-game performances in LSU history against Mississippi State.

 

You might remember Jones’ from that week. Jones dodged several Bulldog defenders en route to a 94-yard punt return touchdown.

 

To go along with his football championship ring, Jones got one with the baseball team. He was a top reliever for Paul Mainieri’s group that year and helped clinch LSU’s title win in Omaha.

It doesn’t seem Jones Jr. has a scholarship offer from LSU, but it’s nice to see him at the recruiting camp. He plays for Southern Lab High School in Baton Rouge.

"Dreadlocks of Doom" on the mound.  Heck of a left  hand closer for the Tigers.  I think he closed out the final win in Omaha against the Longhorns.

he pitched in that game, but Louis Coleman closed it.

fun fact: he only pitched a total 6-2/3 innings that season.
