Expert Analysis

Will Helms

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Jones didn’t play much on a loaded Providence Day defense, but we’ve seen him play as a middle school and came away impressed. He has great size for a freshman linebacker and is a true sideline-to-sideline guy. He has the speed and size combination to be a future standout at middle linebacker. All he needs to do is gain some more experience and playing time.

Alan Popadines

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

– Really impressive linebacker prospect for only being a 2028 prospect, who plays at a level and speed faster than the majority of kids in this country

– The term “sideline-to-sideline” rings true for Jones Jr.. Has the speed of a defensive back, the size and power of a linebacker and the vision of a running back

– Was tempted to list him as an Athlete because of how he moves, but ultimately I think he’ll eventually stay put as either an athletic middle linebacker or a true outside linebacker

– On top of a ton of tackles in both games, he also returned the opening kick-off of the second half for a touchdown against South Carolina
