2024 Season Countdown: #69 Kody Jones

Name: Kody Jones
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 193 lbs.
High school: Memphis (TN) Germantown
Position: Safety
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Jersey number: #14
Last year: I ranked Jones #67 and said he would be a backup defensive back and special teamer (LINK). He played in three games and made 1 tackle.
TTB Rating: 80

The situations for Jones and yesterday’s subject Myles Pollard (LINK) are pretty similar: both have been at Michigan for two years and haven’t played much. And in both cases, Michigan went out and recruited transfer portal defensive backs instead of looking to Pollard and Jones to step up their roles. Jones has bounced around a little bit, having a go at cornerback and safety and some run at nickel.

Nickel seems like the best path for Jones, who’s got safety skills but cornerback size. However, Zeke Berry appears to be the starter there and the next guy mentioned is always Ja’Den McBurrows. The third-string nickel probably isn’t that big of a role, but Jones does have some positional flexibility if there’s a run of injuries in the defensive backfield somewhere. Overall, it appears he might be on the Terry Richardson path to playing a few games per season before winding up elsewhere to finish out his career.

Prediction: Backup defensive back, special teamer

2023 Season Countdown: #67 Kody Jones

Name: Kody Jones
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 193 lbs.
High school: Memphis (TN) Germantown
Position: Safety
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #12
Last year: I ranked Jones #84 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He made 5 tackles and played in four games.
TTB Rating: 80

Jones was a little bit small as a true freshman. Combined with the fact that Michigan had good depth in the defensive backfield, he was always unlikely to play a major role. The good news is that the coaches pushed his playing time to the brink while still maintaining his redshirt, so he played in four games, and that was it.

This year things are looking a little brighter for Jones, but maybe not much. While the depth chart ahead of him has thinned out, he’s still not really in the discussion for a starting position. He was recruited as a safety, but he played some cornerback. His best bet for playing time might be if the coaching staff plays Mike Sainristil at cornerback, opening up the nickel spot for someone like Jones, though he might still be battling with Keshaun Harris or Ja’den McBurrows. No matter how it’s sliced, there’s a good deal of competition and a lot of moving parts in the defensive backfield.

Prediction: Backup defensive back and special teamer
