Grubbs and Jones Collect Additional Postseason Accolades

AP Release | VSN Release | Walter Camp Site | TU Honors Page

UPLAND, Ind. – Taylor's Jonathan Grubbs and Aven Jones combined for multiple NAIA All-American honors recently, adding to the previous AFCA NAIA Second-Team All-American nod for Jones in December.

Grubbs joined Jones in collecting an All-American honor, being named a Victory Sports Network Honorable Mention NAIA All-American for his work on the powerful offensive line for No. 25 Taylor.

Grubbs started all 11 games at the left tackle position for Taylor (9-2, 4-1 MSFA) during his junior season, being named the MSFA Mideast League Offensive Lineman of the Year after helping the Trojans lead the NAIA during the regular season with 54 rushing touchdowns. Grubbs also helped TU rank second in the regular season with 311.7 rushing yards per game, as the Taylor offense set program records with 48.4 points per game, 486.4 yards per game and the 311.7 rushing yards per game.

Jones added three more All-American awards to his AFCA honor, being named an Associated Press and Walter Camp First-Team All-American, as well as a VSN Third-Team All-American.

Jones finished his final collegiate season with 132 total tackles, five sacks, 8.5 tackles for lost yardage and a trio of forced fumbles while starting all 11 games from his linebacker position. Jones led the NAIA in tackles during the regular season and ended the 2024 campaign ranked second in total stops and second with 12.0 tackles per outing.

The play of Grubbs and Jones helped No. 25 Taylor to a 9-2 record, marking a seven-win turnaround from the prior season and posting the second-highest win total in program history.
