Jones is a 2026 five-star linebacker out of St. Paul’s Episcopal. He is considered a top defensive target for Alabama, Auburn and several other programs.
The Crimson Tide’s coaching staff have been in constant contact with the five-star for several months.
“It’s been great,” Jones told Touchdown Alabama in September while discussing his contact with Alabama coaches. “I’ve been talking with them like every other day, just building a relationship with them.”
