Former Cy Woods player who once wanted to be a soccer star, thinks he has another level...
Texas Longhorns offensive lineman Christian Jones, carrying the flag for the Longhorns vs. Rice early in his career, is back for a sixth season.AUSTIN — Even as he continued to grow, young Christian Jones was determined to become a world-renowned soccer icon.
That was a lifetime ago for Jones, finally forced onto the gridiron as a sophomore after some gentle nudging from, well, just about every single football coach on Cy Woods’ staff. Now a colossus at 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds, the soft-spoken Jones has gradually grown into a role that demands a mean streak.
After forming the offensive line bookends with budding freshman All-American left tackle Kelvin Banks a year ago, Jones will again start on the right side in 2023 alongside returning starting center Jake Majors, left guard Hayden Conner and right guard Cole Hutson. That sort of full continuity is rare these days, so Sarkisian and offensive line coach Kyle Flood were more than pleased to hear of Jones’ return even with some uber-talented underclassmen waiting in the wings.
