WR
Redshirt Sophomore
Grambling State transfer with 32 receptions for 450 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. His Penn State receiver role should be measured by current game use rather than carrying those prior-school numbers forward.
Keith Jones Jr. is a redshirt-sophomore receiver on Penn State's 2026 roster after transferring from Grambling State. Penn State lists him at 6-foot-4, giving the receiver group a larger outside option, but his previous-school record is the better basis for evaluating his experience.
Penn State's official player biography credits Jones with 32 catches for 450 yards and five touchdowns in 12 Grambling State games, including two starts, in 2025. Those are Grambling figures and replace the unsupported 45-catch, 650-yard line previously stored here. The production shows that he has handled college targets, though it does not establish the same workload at Penn State.
The 2026 receiving room also includes transfers with Penn State game production, including Chase Sowell and Brett Eskildsen. Jones' role should be judged through current-game usage rather than by height or his transfer label alone. This profile keeps his verified Grambling season as background while leaving his Penn State receiving role open to the evidence of the season.
