Today is a sad day for SMU Football. It is hard to find a better man than June Jones. So much of my success can be attributed to his leadership, his loyalty, and the opportunities he gave me as a young man. As an athlete, you never forget the people who gave you your chances, those who had your back, those who encouraged you, those who fought for you, and those who helped make your dreams come true. I spent 4 years of my life learning and growing under Coach Jones. He has impacted the lives of so many of my brothers. He has put countless players in the Pros, and above all else, has molded some of the greatest men. It takes a strong and talented person to impact such significant change. It speaks volumes of his character that he was able to breathe life into a program that was literally dead. I respect Coach Jones for his poise, for his faith, and for his constant efforts to improve the communities he was a part of. He is a mastermind of the game and most certainly a legend. For these and so many other reasons, I will always appreciate and respect him. Thank you for the opportunity, thank you for the memories, thank you for your friendship, and thank you for your continued presence in my life. I am humbled that you continue to support me and keep in touch. I wish Coach Jones blessings in his future endeavors. I will always be a Mustang and a Steeler and I have Coach Jones to thank for that.
