Jones is a 2026 recruit out of St. Paul’s Episcopal in Mobile, Alabama. He currently garners a five-star rating from multiple recruiting sites.

Each program hosted Jones for an official visit in June.

The five-star told Touchdown Alabama his relationship with the Tide’s staff had improved after officially visiting the Tide in June.

“My relationship with the coaching staff has definitely grown stronger,” Jones said. “It was like at first they did not know me but that has changed. It is like a brotherhood at Alabama, the coaches show they care and I know they can develop talent.”

At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Jones is one of the nation’s most talented defensive prospects.
