Cy Woods All-Time Roster: Number 52

Gabe Zavala, a backup defensive tackle in 2009, was the first player to wear #52.

Jordan Jones entered Cy Woods as a linebacker, but he finished as a starting defensive lineman. He made the varsity in 2011, his junior year, and was a key backup (mostly as a defensive tackle) as part of a deep defensive line. He was a starting defensive end as a senior. His mother, Karla (I know her as Mrs. Fleming-Jones, or Mrs. FJ), was an English teacher at Cy Woods; she was my AP English III (Language) teacher in my junior year.

At the collegiate level, Jordan played at Mississippi College, a Division II school located in Clinton, Mississippi, just outside of the capital, Jackson.
