Julius Jones's build, silky smooth coordination, and overall play style remind us of Stedman Bailey. They are around the same size and showed excellent ball skills and instincts as pass catchers. Both Jones and Bailey were productive high school wide receivers in South Florida. Jones is more of a national prospect at the same stage and has more of a robust track profile.

Crafty technician who pairs a high skill level with plus athleticism. Measured in at a shade under 5-foot-10, 170 pounds prior to his senior season. Has longer arms for his frame, checking in at 32 inches. The top receiving option at powerhouse Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas for much of his high school career. Lines up both outside and in the slot. Has positional versatility but is likely to spend most of his time at the college level in the slot. Touts a high skill level with impressive technical acuity. Has a smooth, long-striding gait that is able to eat up cushions off the snap. A crisp route runner who understands space and defender leverage. Longer arms help provide a larger catch radius than implied by his stature. A ball-winner in contested catch situations and plays much bigger than his size. Has effortless tracking ability, easily locating the football on deep routes and back shoulder targets. Works back to the quarterback on broken plays. Often works the intermediate area of the field, but shows long speed to stretch the field vertically. Roasted some blue-chip defensive backs in best-on-best matchups as a junior. Finished his junior season with 58 catches for 876 yards and 14 touchdowns while playing top competition. Also proved to be a tough cover during Under Armour All-America Game practices, especially when drawing safeties out of the slot. Has not run a 40-yard dash at a camp in several years, but has shown high-end speed on the track, improving his personal best in the 100 meters to 10.52 seconds as a junior. Will need to continue adding strength and mass to his frame to aid in maximizing yards after the catch. May have limited growth potential as he’s older for the class and size was static around from junior to senior offseason. Has NFL pedigree with his father and uncle both being NFL running backs. Considered a high floor prospect with NFL Draft upside given his track record against top competition and high skill level.
