Leading off the players to watch is 2024 standout Jalen Jones Jalen Jones 6'2" | DB Lawton Eisenhower | 2024 State OK at the cornerback position. Jones has seen his recruitment really start to take off over the last eight months and he’s become a prospect that could end up at the D1 level. Jones really impressed us this offseason when we got a chance to see him in action in some 7v7 tournaments. Jones is just a lockdown corner that has the potential to really earn more attention with another strong season for the Eagles. He also gave Lawton Ike a threat on the offensive side of the ball at wide receiver. Last year, he finished the season with 15 catches for over 200 yards and three touchdowns but the priority will be defense.

The first of two shutdown corners on this breakdown is Lawton Eisenhower 2024 standout Jalen Jones Jalen Jones 6'2" | DB Lawton Eisenhower | 2024 State OK . It was good to get our eyes on Jones for an extended period this weekend for the first time. We’ve seen some of the video from this offseason with Jones putting in work and his recruitment is starting to take off as well. But it’s different getting your eyes on Jones in person and he passed the eye test. It’s not easy for cornerbacks to really stand out and make play after play in a 7v7 setting because quarterbacks learn pretty quickly that they just need to avoid throwing their way. Jones made several plays from a pick six to multiple pass breakups and eventually, quarterbacks learned their lesson and tried to attack the C4 defense in other areas. Jones is definitely a prospect that is on the rise in Oklahoma and we can’t wait to see more of him this spring and summer.
