Jones is a five-star linebacker out of St. Paul’s Episcopal in Mobile, Alabama. He is considered one of the Crimson Tide’s top 2026 targets. The Crimson Tide’s coaching staff has been working to build a relationship with him since taking over in Tuscaloosa after Saban retired.

“I’ve been on the phone with them like every week,” Jones told Touchdown Alabama. “I have been building a great relationship with coach (Kalen) DeBoer and coach (Christian) Robinson. They just talk about how they can use me in different places like Bandit and WOLF. It’s just been good.”

The five-star is currently taking an official visit at the University of Alabama.
