Mallard Creek's elite receiver Ryan Jones is growing into an elite leader

Posted Sep 1, 2016
Last season, as one of a handful of offensive weapons for the Mallard Creek Mavericks, Ryan Jones reeled in 23 passes for 679 yards and seven touchdowns. “I know that I have to do more this year,” said Jones, a North Carolina commit. “I’m not the guy who talks a lot and gets in my teammates’ faces. I like to lead by example. I feel like that’s the best way to motivate people.” (USA Today)
