Southeast High School’s Kyng Jones has been an athlete that not only coaches can rely on, but teammates as well. Only three games into the season, Jones already has 30 yards and a touchdown on his stats.
Head coach Marcus Bagley has been more than impressed with Jones’ efforts on the field and off the field with his classmates and teammates.
“Kyng Jones is the type of athlete that puts his team first,” Bagley said. “He’s a Swiss Army knife for the Southeast Buffaloes. Playing multiple positions on offense and on special teams, he’s the type of guy every coach wants in their locker room. Not only does he exemplify what Golden Buffalo is on the field, but off the field as well. He’s a straight-A student, and lends a hand to teammates that may have issues in the classroom.”
The Golden Buffaloes are off to a tough 1-2 start on the season, but Bagley knows that with guys like Jones, win or lose the players are making a difference to a well-built program.
“Jones is just one of our natural born leaders,” Bagley said. “He’s one of those guys we can count on throughout all the aspects of our program. He knows his job as well as others on the field. He’s someone we can depend on off the field in the weight room and classroom. We will look for him to contribute all over the field this season as well as impacting our program off the field.”
