Jul 20, 2018 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University football redshirt senior tight end Charles Jones II has been named to the John Mackey Award Preseason Watch List for the second straight season. The award is given annually to the most outstanding collegiate tight end.
The award recipient is selected by vote of the John Mackey Award Selection Committee and the 2018 Mackey Award recipient will be announced on Dec. 5 and then presented live on Dec. 6 at The Home Depot College Football Awards Red Carpet Show on ESPNU.
Jones enters the 2018 season having played in 40 career games, earning 22 career starts. He also has totaled over 50 career receptions and over 400 career receiving yards.
