Evanston Township’s senior defensive tackle, Naquan Jones, is looking forward to his 2016-2017 football season. Growing up in a Big-Ten town, Michigan State has always been the school of his dreams.

Jones said being a committed prospect will not keep him from finishing hard his senior season.

“When you’ve committed, you’re held to a higher standard … people know about you, that kind of puts more pressure on you and coaches expect more from you. So I just want to go out there and play as hard as I can, that is what pushes me to play as well as I do,” Jones said.
