The Crimson Tide wide receiver, the most famous minor in college football during his true freshman year, will be facing enormous expectations as a sophomore, with a new quarterback and facing defenses that have plenty of tape on him.

After firing Colin Hitschler after one season with the Crimson Tide, DeBoer hired Jones, a former Alabama defensive back and Tuscaloosa native who was most recently the cornerbacks coach at North Carolina, to his staff.

Jason Jones is now on staff for the Tide, helping coach defensive backs alongside Maurice Linguist, who largely focused on UA’s cornerbacks last season. He’s one of two additions to the staff, along with Chuck Morrell, who got a promotion to inside linebackers coach.
