A lot of high school wide receivers are blessed to have one solid quarterback throwing to them in their high school career. Cleveland’s D.J. Jones has had two.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound senior has definitely done his fair share in making both look good, too.
After catching passes from current University of Pittsburgh freshman quarterback Chad Voytik, Jones has been able to build familiarity with classmate Austin Herink, and the two hooked up for 54 catches, 693 yards and 11 touchdowns on Jones’ way to first-team Times Free Press Best of Preps honors as a junior. He comes in as the No. 8 prospect on the newspaper’s Dynamite Baker’s Dozen list for the area’s top prospects in 2013.
He feels he’s grown some in his first two seasons as a starter but still has room to grow.
