Penn State’s football program gained another solid commitment from the transfer portal today in Keith Jones, Jr.

Last year as a redshirt freshman for Grambling University, Jones tallied 31 receptions for 438 yards and scored four touchdowns.

He was the Tigers’ leading receiver in a run-first offense and has a reputation of being a combat catcher with 50/50 balls and also plays with speed and aggression.

Today on X, the 6′-4″, 190 lb. wide receiver from New Orleans pledged his commitment to Penn State.

Jones grew up in New Orleans and attended Edna Karr High School before signing with Grambling, where he redshirted the 2024 season. Per Ryan Snyder of Blue-White Illustrated, Jones also had interest from Cincinatti and Stanford, as well as non-power 4 programs such as Charlotte, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Southern Miss, Texas State and Western Kentucky.

Jones has three years of eligibility remaining.
