    "Seattle is a beautiful place and I loved pretty much everything about it -- the trees, the lake and the stadium were second to none," Jones told 247Sports following his trip. "The campus was really nice and took a while to see most of it because of how big it is. UW played amazing overall against Arizona. The defense was very aggressive and had tons of energy, so it was really fun watching them ball out.

    "I got a call from coach Derham Cato right before pregame and he showed me the field and some of the stadium and that was really cool. ... I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and I already love UW. They always have great tight ends like Cade Otton and great pass rushers like Joe Tryon that have potential to go to the league. As you know, my teammate Germie Bernard is committed to UW, so getting to play with him at the next level would be a big lifetime experience. I got to meet and throw with Sam Huard as well and he’s an amazing dude and a very talented athlete, so that's even more reason why I love UW. Right now I have nothing but love for this amazing program."

    Jones, in Washington's scheme, projects for a pass-rushing edge position, although he also has garnered attention from schools as a tight end.

    The scenery is definitely I think something the recruits who grow up here take for granted. A kid from the desert comes and goes holy fuck that’s amazing I want to play in that stadium and go to school on that campus. Not saying it’s a deciding reason for any player don’t twist, just interesting to think about.

    Ballz scouting report. Savvy 2.0

    HUGE pickup! Huge! Just getting one OLB last class was not ideal. We need two OLB’s in every class because having an elite pass rush and depth to rotate guys in and out is everything. Jones is a beast. He has the size, has the twitch, and has the aggression. This is why I laugh at these star rankings. I can honestly say that talent wise, there isn’t a noticeable difference between Jones and Savell Smalls. Their Sophomore film looks so similar. Savell played some TE/WR in high school too. Man, Coach K is killing it with these way underrated 3-star kids. First Tryon and ZTF, now Heims and Jones.

    Savvy 2.0 LOL but he’s not wrong on this kid. When you’re 6”5 240 35 inch vert with bend as a HS JR, you’re a high level physical talent.
