Ronald Jones II A CAREER IN PHOTOS

After three stellar years at USC, tailback Ronald Jones II announced today that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2018 NFL Draft.

From the moment the Texas-born dreadhead stepped on campus in 2015, he was making plays.

In the first game of his career at USC, Jones went for 86 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown.

Jones racked up a USC freshman single-game record with 177 yards against Arizona in 2015.

He went on to lead the team with 987 rush yards on the season.

Jones broke Charles White's record for rush yards by a freshman set in 1976, and became the only true freshman other than LenDale White to ever lead USC in rushing.

Jones got a little taste of home at the beginning of his sophomore season, when the Trojans opened up at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex. — just 45 minutes from his hometown of McKinney.

Jones once again led the team in rushing in 2016, with 1,082 yards and 12 TD.

Against Cal, he erupted for a career-high 223 yards, the second-most ever by a USC sophomore behind Shawn Walters’ 234 in 1994.

In the very next game, Jones tied a USC single-game record with 4 rush TD, becoming the 14th Trojan to accomplish the feat.

Jones saved the best for last, posting his strongest season yet as a junior in 2017.

Jones ran for 1,550 yards, which ranked 8th in the nation, and 19 TD, which ranked T-5th in the nation.

He earned First Team All-American honors from Pro Football Focus and First Team All-Pac-12 from the conference.

Jones went over 100 yards in 9 of the 13 games he played in in 2017 and went over 200 yards once.

He also scored a touchdown in 12 of 13 games. Jones finished his career with a score in 19 of his last 20 games.

From 2016-17, Jones had a 13-game scoring streak, the longest at USC since Anthony Davis’ 17 in 1973- 74.

Jones became the 7th Trojan to post a pair of 1,000-yard seasons and moved up to No. 5 on USC's all-time rushing chart.

ONLY TWO HEISMAN WINNERS AND TWO RUNNERS-UP RANK AHEAD OF JONES ON USC'S ALL-TIME RUSHING CHART.
