Penn State Football, led by Matt Campbell is set to gain another transfer portal addition. Grambling State transfer Wide Receiver, Keith Jones Jr. has committed to the Nittany Lions.
Coming out of New Orleans, Louisiana, Jones took his talents to Grambling State. The 6 foot 4, 185 pound wideout spent 2024 as a redshirt before playing in every game in 2025.
The southern native is an intriguing prospect who could be productive for the Nittany Lions.
What Does Keith Jones Bring to the Wide Receiver Room?
Highlights of Keith Jones Jr. are few and far between on the internet. He’s a hard player to scout. However, statistically he produced quite a bit for the Grambling State Tigers.
Jones caught 31 balls for 438 yards and four touchdowns. In the only power 4 game he played in, Jones put up two catches for 19 yards early in the season against Ohio State. His best game came against Bethune Cookman when he hauled in three passes for 51 yards and a touchdown.
Jones’ big frame allows him to do a lot of things in the pass game. In the limited film of him, he makes some solid contested catches, and can make people miss. It would be interesting to get some numbers on Jones’ speed to see just how fast he is. Regardless, Keith Jones Jr. is a very intriguing prospect for Noah Pauley in the Wide Receiver room.
