Kellen Jones began his collegiate career in the Big Ten... continued it in the Big 12... continued it further in the ACC... and will now, reportedly, finish it in the conference in which he started.
247Sports.com reported late this past week that Jones has decided to transfer out of the Clemson football program and transfer into the one at Wisconsin. Jones made his decision after taking an official visit to Madison earlier in the week.
Because the linebacker has already graduated from Clemson, he will be eligible to play immediately in 2015 as long as he enrolls in a grad program not offered at his now-former school.
And, speaking of now-former schools, Jones has a boatload of them.
In February of 2011, Jones signed on as a three-star member of Michigan’s recruiting class that year. Six months later, Jones announced that he was transferring to Oklahoma before ever stepping foot on the field at UM. Seven months later, Jones decided to leave OU and, one month after that, he reunited with defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
Jones did manage to play 12 games for the Sooners before transferring to the Tigers. At Clemson, he played in a total of 16 games, including 13 in 2014. He was credited with 29 tackles, one forced fumble and a half of a tackle for loss.
