COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech wide receiver Tremel Jones has been named a Finalist for the 2025 Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete Award, as announced today by the organization.
Tremel Jones is a standout in the classroom as well as on the field, being a two-year starting wide receiver and returner for the No. 5 Golden Eagles football team. He is one of 13 finalists for the award – one from each conference in the Division I subdivision.
