About Brooks
Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The Cougars had a nasty defense for the ‘23 season with Jones at the forefront of that effort as he led the team in tackles at 160 along with 11.5 for loss and 3 sacks on the year. The Cougars senior linebacker was a monster at linebacker all season long and the leader of one of the best defenses in the greater Mid-Tennessee area. Jones was a durable performer that played at a high level each and every game, providing his Cougars defense a consistent presence that would resonate throughout the rest of the team. His performance over the four year career at MTCS will place him as one of the best defensive players to ever come out of the Cougars football program.

, a linebacker at Middle Tennessee Christian High School. What impresses me about Jones is his ability to lock down the offense on the ground, showing off his ability to catch the running back from along the edge and protect the backfield. I also like how Jones can overpower the offensive line at the opportune moment, proving he can push off the opposition to catch the rush. Jones also stands out with his ability to disrupt the short pass and stop receivers from along the edge, using bursts of speed to catch and take down receivers shortly after the catch.Access all of Prep Redzone

, a linebacker at Middle Tennessee Christian High School. In addition to outstanding awareness, what impresses me the most about Jones is his ability to use bursts of speed to catch the offense off guard, proving he can catch the opposition along the edge and protect the backfield from the rush. I also like how Jones can absorb contact and overpower the offensive line at the last minute to stop the running back. Another facet of Jones that stood out last year was his commanding physicality and stopping power, proving he can blast the opposition to the ground by getting airborne.Access all of Prep Redzone

, a linebacker at Middle Tennessee Christian High School. Jones and the Cougars are coming off a 28-13 win over Friendship Christian in the D2-Class A championship game this past week. Jones stands out due to his ability to blast past the offensive line, apply pressure on the quarterback and force the occasional fumble. I also like how Jones picks up speed to make crucial tackles from along the edge, proving he can protect the backfield and keep the offense out of the redzone. Another aspect of Jones that made a big difference in the title game was his ability to predict the quarterback and disrupt passing in the endzone.Access all of Prep Redzone
