Former Maryland and Ohio State linebacker Keandre Jones wasn’t one of the former college stars who was selected during the NFL Draft over the weekend, but he’ll still get the chance to prove he belongs in the league.

After the conclusion of this year’s draft, Jones received an opportunity to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bears. He heads to the league after spending the 2019 college football season with the Terrapins.

Jones started all 12 games for Maryland during the 2019 campaign and was one of the top defensive performers for the team. He collected 74 total stops with 15 tackles for loss, seven sacks and three forced fumbles. Jones was a team captain in his lone year with the Terps.

For his efforts, Jones was an Honorable Mention All-B1G linebacker.

Prior to his time in College Park, Jones appeared in 34 games during his three seasons at Ohio State. He left the Buckeyes with 29 tackles, one sack, one pass break-up and a blocked kick.
