Louisiana: Fun Q&A with Evangel Christian Academy Class of 2017 WR Johnathan Jones

Written by Charlie Beuttel 

Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana is off to a great start in 2015. The Eagles lost their first game of the season but have rattled off six straight wins and now sit atop the District 1-5A standings tied with Airline. One key to their success this season is their high-scoring offense that is scoring 39 points a game. One of the weapons in this great Evangel offense is junior wide receiver Johnathan Jones (6’2″, 185 pounds).

Jones has caught eight throws for 125 receiving yards and one touchdown so far this season. The junior receiver is rated as a three star prospect according to 247sports.com and has already received a scholarship offer from Louisiana Tech. Along with his offer, Jones is receiving interest from big schools including Arkansas, LSU, Notre Dame and TCU.

Last week I sat down with Johnathan to talk all about his career at Evangel and his recruiting process. However I also asked him some rapid fire questions to find out what the tall and talented wide receiver is like off the field.
