Former Wisconsin Badgers running back Dilin Jones wasted no time making a name for himself at LSU.
The Tigers absolutely crushed Clemson, 51-10, in a game that saw Jones rush for 73 more yards than Clemson had as an entire team.
Jones played for the Badgers in 2024-25, totaling 92 carries for 388 yards. He had two touchdowns in Madison, both of which came during his 2025 season.

Now, Jones already has a pair of touchdowns with LSU. In a game that saw the Tigers rush for 309 yards, Jones had 113 of those on 23 carries. In total, he finished with 114 yards on the night, as he also had a one-yard reception.
The sophomore averaged 4.9 yards per carry and set a new career high
for rushing yards in a game.
Previously, that number was 73, a mark he set in the Badgers' 2025 season opener against Miami (OH).

Jones scored the first touchdown of the year for the Tigers in a game that featured roughly a two-hour weather delay.
His one-yard rushing touchdown got things going in the first quarter, and he would later add a 12-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter.
