Queenās Golden Gaels have announced the addition of Ron Jones to their football program.

Among the teams Jones has suited up for during his career include St. Michael Mustangs of the Niagara Region High School Athletic Association (NRHSAA) and Niagara Spears of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL).
āRon is a great addition to the Queenās Football team,ā commented Golden Gaels Head Coach Pat Sheahan.Ā āHe is very physical and very athletic.ā
āHe is a linebacker with great cover skills. What attracted us to him was his ability to read, react and finish. He is also a very effective special teamsā player with a knack for finding the ball. He has a multitude of uses moving forward. He is also the younger brother of CFL lineman Andrew Jones. Ron is a great student at St Michaelās CHS in Niagara Falls who will study Sociology at Queenās and has played for the OVFLās Niagara Spears.ā
For his part, Jones chose the Kingston, Ontario campus because it is the place where he can further his success on the gridiron and in the classroom. Ā He was convinced after he took in an official visit.
āI chose Queenās because I believe it was an important step to achieving my goals in academics and athletics,ā elaborated the Ontario linebacker.Ā āQueenās is a top notch school in both of these areas and it has always been a dream of mine to attend and play football here.ā
āThe visit I had at Queenās, talking to coaches and players showed me that when you attend, you are part of a great tradition here.ā
