Plays RB, WR against FAU Jones had nine carries for 21 yards in Saturday's 38-6 loss to FAU. He also had four catches for 33 yards and did not attempt a pass.

Impact After starting at quarterback for the Eagles in Week 1, head coach Chad Lunsford chose to go with Cam Ransom at pivot for Week 2 and use Jones as a jack of all trades. The senior ended up being Georgia Southern's second-leading receiver on the day, but averaged just 2.3 yards per carry on the ground. How Lunsford uses Jones moving forward will be a major theme for the Eagles as they navigate a tough stretch of games that features Arkansas, Louisiana and Arkansas State.

Wins first start Jones completed four of seven passes for 45 yards and added 19 carries for 98 yards in Saturday's 30-25 win over Gardner-Webb.

Impact Jones got the start for the Eagles at quarterback and ran the offense well despite this being his first look at the pivot position since high school. Though he was used mostly on the ground and shared passing duties with freshman Cam Ransom, the suspension of presumed starter Justin Tomlin for academic issues means that Jones still may factor into the quarterback decision for next week's visit to Florida Atlantic. Tomlin is eligible to return for Week 3 against Arkansas.
