UNC Running Back D.J. Jones Finding his Niche

Posted Oct 15, 2021
D.J. Jones, a sophomore from Fayetteville, N.C., stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 205 pounds. He’s more of a physical runner than Ty Chandler, making him an ideal change-of-pace back for the Tar Heels. "The thing we talk about a lot in our running room is just getting the hard yards," Jones said this week. "That's something I try to always implement." (Inside Carolina)
