CRESTVIEW — Capri Jones does a bit of everything for Crestview High School’s football team.
He plays receiver on offense. He often covers the other team’s best receiver as a member of the Bulldog defensive secondary. And, for good measure, he returns punts on special teams.
“He’s just a good high school player,” Bulldog Coach Tim Hatten said, “and we like him. He’s very charismatic in the locker room and is just a fun kid to be around.
“He has good speed and he’s good in the open field. He’s just a real valuable player, not only on offense and defense, but special teams, too.”
