Healthy And With A Clear Mind, UNC Running Back D.J. Jones Finding His Game

Posted Aug 12, 2022
UNC running back D.J. Jones is feeling good these days. And that’s a departure from his first two years at UNC. Bum ankle, broken foot, and plenty of uncertainty marked his first two seasons as a Tar Heel. Not anymore. "Now, I’m just working on my confidence. I’ve had two surgeries the past two years, but I’ve healed from both of them. I’m 110 percent." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
