WATCH: Massive Auburn OL commit rumbles to touchdown as Wildcat QB for high school team
Published:
Auburn is recruiting Keiondre Jones to play offensive line, but the Tigers might have to design a few plays for him as a rusher.
OK, that’s not very likely, but Jones got to show off his rushing skills on a 9-yard scoring plunge for Hogansville, Georgia-based Callaway High School. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 341 pounds on his 247Sports.com recruiting profile, Jones carries a couple defenders into the end zone after taking a snap as the Wildcat quarterback.
You can watch the awesome play below, courtesy of a tweet from Jack Patterson.

While Jones can clearly hold his own with the ball in his hands, his true talent lies in his blocking ability.
247Sports.com’s composite ratings peg him as the No. 7 offensive guard in the nation and the 16th-best 2019 prospect in talent-rich Georgia. Jones received offers from nearly every SEC school as well as other national powers like Clemson and Michigan.
We all know Auburn coach Gus Malzahn likes to get as many players as possible involved in the running game. Based on this video, it seems like Jones is a natural fit for the Tigers’ system.
