This week’s Orange Panther of the Week is quarterback Wyatt Jones. In his final football game on Friday night, Jones threw for two touchdowns as Orange defeated Chapel Hill 30-6 at Auman Stadium. Jones was one of 21 seniors honored before the game. He came out throwing tap passes to wide receivers Zyon Pettiford and Cam White. To conclude the opening drive of the game, White carried around left end for a 17-yard touchdown, his first of the year. Jones also threw to Elliott Woods on a 44-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Wyatt was joined by classmate Joe Kiger and offensive line coach Eric Stephens for this interview. In his final two games in an Orange football uniform, Jones threw for two touchdowns each in games against Cedar Ridge and Chapel Hill. Kiger had a career-high five receptions against Cedar Ridge. Jones’ athletic career at Orange is far from done. He will spend the winter getting ready for the start of lacrosse season in February.
