Arkansas football prospect Jevon Jones was in an odd situation Saturday, as the Razorbacks invited him to be part of a crowd of 72,000 in which the vast majority of attendees were actively cheering against his brother.
Jevon is the brother of Ole Miss DB Jaylon Jones, the Hogs’ most recent opponent.
“It was a little weird,” Jevon told Richard Davenport of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “I have all love for (Jaylon). He’s been through this recruiting process. It was a little weird, but I’m glad I got out there to Arkansas and checked it out because I’ve been waiting to do that.”
The Allen, Texas product was impressed by the Donald W. Reynolds Stadium crowd and environment.
“It’s the best atmosphere I’ve experienced personally,” Jones said. “It was crazy. The atmosphere at the game was just amazing. The fans seem very dedicated. They made the atmosphere that much better. Very intense crowd.”
