Early years
Elessar Jones grew up in a small town in central Kentucky. When people met him, they always wondered about his strange name. His parents were both big fans of classic literature, and Elessar and his 3 siblings were all named after famous book characters. The name Elessar came from his father's favorite series, the Lord of the Rings, as the Elvish name for Aragorn. Like Aragorn, Elessar was a natural leader from a very young age. He was tall and handsome and was destined to be a professional quarterback. He started for three seasons at quarterback for his high school football team, and his leadership in the locker room earned him great respect among his peers. Unlike many of his friends, Jones only played one sport in high school. He was obsessed with football and preferred to spending each offseason training rather than playing a spring season sport. His drive for the game and his competitiveness were considered some of his best qualities.
College career
Elessar Jones did not play for a top football program in high school. As such, he did not receive a large number of college offers. He wanted to play for his hometown team, the Kentucky Wildcats, but they chose to recruit another local star, Boone McCoy, instead. So, Jones took the opportunity to play for a small school a couple hours from home: the Miami Redhawks. The Redhawks had been struggling as a football team since the great Ben Roethlisberger had graduated in 2003. Jones came in as a talented rookie QB and started immediately. He took the MAC conference by storm, leading the Redhawks to a 10-3 record. Meanwhile, at Kentucky, there were locker room concerns with McCoy, who was unhappy that he was not receiving enough playing time. With their starter graduating and their uncertainty with McCoy, Kentucky recruited Jones to return home to play for the Wildcats. Jones agreed, and beat out McCoy for the starting spot his sophomore season. However, halfway through the year, Jones got hurt, giving McCoy a chance to finish out the season. With two young QBs, the Wildcats struggled in the SEC, going 5-8 and missing a bowl game. The following season, Jones again won the starting spot, and had the best season of his collegiate career, leading UK to a 9-4 record, their best in five seasons. The head coach parlayed that success into a better football job that offseason, and for Jones and McCoy's senior year, a new coach was brought in who considered himself and offensive innovator. He wanted to use both McCoy and Jones every game, so both saw their stats suffer as a result.
