The more he’s around Jones, the more impressed Elliott grows. wSdwE93mwDīefore coming to Charlottesville in December, Elliott knew little about Jones, who’d joined the Wahoos’ program as a walk-on in 2018 and had three career carries before last weekend.

In his appearance, which lasted about 20 minutes, the graduate student from Northern Virginia discussed his improbable ascent to the top of the depth chart at tailback, his academic résumé and his literary ambitions. On the “Coach’s Corner with Tony Elliott,” Jones joined play-by-play announcer John Freeman and Elliott, the Cavaliers’ first-year head coach, for the final segment of the weekly show and wowed the audience at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse.
