BIOGRAPHY

Jamarco Jones was born on June 4th, 1996 in Chicago, Illinois. He is an offensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. 

While he was blocking for run lanes, the Ohio State rushing attack flourished. In the four years Jones saw action on the field, OSU had a top-20 running game. His senior year, the Scarlet and Gray had the 17th best rushing attack; over the last three seasons, though, the Bucks have led the Big Ten when it came to moving the ball on the ground.Before he took over the reigns on the O-line, Jones watched one of the best lineman in the Urban Meyer years do work. Taylor Decker was the predecessor to Jones, and he not only had a great college career, but a great start to his NFL career, too. On top of that, Jones is in good company. Other notable left tackles to don the Scarlet and Gray include Mike Adams, Alex Boone and Jack Mewhort. All three of them spent at least a few seasons in the league.A mainstay at the line of scrimmage, Jones started in 27 consecutive games and played in 50 games over the course of his Ohio State career. Those 27 starts at left tackle came over his junior and senior seasons.Experience on a team that has had a perpetual revolving door of NFL-grade talent is always a good sign. His senior season, Jones picked up first-team all-Big Ten honors—so the experience has paid off.

Jones was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round with the 168th overall, of the 2018 NFL Draft.
