Expert Analysis
Bryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
Drew Jones is a strong edge rusher for Carmel who has a chance to develop into a special player. 6-foot-2, 200-pound OLB aligns in a two-point stance and flashes explosive edge speed. Well put together frame with time to add bulk. Takes good pursuit angles to the ball, wraps up, and can be very disruptive. Recorded 62 total tackles, six sacks, and 21 QB hurries last season. Loves the gym with a thick upper half and a strong set of legs.

is a forced to be reckoned with. Jones has remarkable first-step quickness, great instincts, and is one of the best pass rushers in the state. Jones picked up his second offer from Western Illinois this month; expect more to come in the not-too-distant future.

Read EvaluationSam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Jones is coming off a breakout year for Carmel and looked good doing it. He’s got a decent frame and can play both the first and second levels. He’s got the range to drop back into coverage as an LB when needed and the strength to press the line when asked. He’s got a good swipe that will remove OL contact and break him free. He’s shifty in short areas for a guy his size, which helps him break down and make open-field tackles. He put up 55 tackles, 9 TFLs, 5 sacks, 1 PBU, and a fumble recovery in year 1 starting. He’ll likely be a Senior leader upfront and has himself primed for a big year.
