Draft Profile: Bio
Datrell Jones from Catholic Memorial High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Jones joined Boston College.In 2024 as a freshman Jones saw action in just 2 games for the Eagles as he ran for just 65 yards on 5 attempts for an outstanding 13.0 yards per carry, with one TD, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made no receptions for no yards.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Jones keeps his pads low and consistently falls forward. Unlike most backs his size, Jones has the lateral movement and stop-start ability to make defenders whiff. He has breakaway speed in the open field.
- He’s capable as a receiver, a weapon on swing passes and in the screen game.
- He is an electrifying player, one of college football’s best playmakers in space
- He’s a natural pass catcher, at his best pulling in swing passes and heading upfield. He’s a natural in the screen game as well. His hands are good enough that he can line up in the slot.
- He’s outstanding as a receiver, with good hands and the coordination to snatch away from his body and fluidly transition to a runner.
- Jones finishes runs well and flashes the ability to get small and squeeze through traffic.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not always read blocks behind pulling guards. May not be big enough to move piles at the next level and has a tendency to bury his head too soon.
- Has a lean frame and lacks ideal bulk or muscle for the position. Doesn't have great strength, lacking a power element to his game to break many tackles.
- Not a blocker. Limitations due to size with obvious durability questions
