Highlights:
Player Breakdown: A standout performer in high school down south, Jonas has good size and speed for a safety. Having returned kicks, as well as playing receiver a bit, he is not unfamiliar to having the ball in his hands. A somewhat crowded position, Jonas may be relegated to special teams (or a redshirt) for his first season. Yet, come a few years, expect to see a lot of the Palm Beach native in Orange.
