Uh, . . . .
Jeremiah Jones was a bullfrog.
He got better. Maybe not SEC better, but ya’ know . . . .
It's important to note that Nebraska isn't what it used to be.
Jones is 6'6", but he doesn't really dominate the competition like he should. I hope he finds success at the next level.
We have a safety in that class Martels Carter from Paducah who is considered a much better prospect.
Also Gardner is a super fast safety to go with Carter.
Have also seen him listed at 6'4". Guessing he's a pretty good athlete without a position.
Nobody is sure what position Jones will play despite being listed as a safety. Nebraska is just taking a chance on his measurables and baseline ball skills, but he needs to make big strides in his development.
DB is the position where I have the most confidence in Stoops and his staff's evaluation though. They must not see what they want relative to other options.
I checked his stats from last season and they don't reflect what he should be doing in Kentucky HS football if he's indeed a 3-star athlete.
Passing: 54/102, 643 yards, 6 TDs, 2 INTs
Rushing: 63 rushes for 204 TDs, 3 TDs
Receiving: 22 catches, 326 yards, 2 TDs
Defense: 66 tackles, 4 TFLs, 5 sacks, 2 INTs, 2 Fumble Recoveries (1 for TD)
Obviously, a player who is versatile. I watched a little bit of his HUDL film from his Junior season and looks to have some impressive qualities. I would be more curious about what he could if he played on a better team that played against better competition. Hard to fully gauge what he can do since Murray is a 2A school.
Sounds like a real good transfer possibility with a couple of years’ development.
Matt Ruhle recruits a lot like Mark Stoops.
They look for TRAITS in athletes and hope with progression and hard work they turn into players.
UK did that with a lot of their 2024 class.
My guess on Jones is Nebraska sees a kid who could turn into hybrid LB/S type, similar to Alex Afari at UK

They going to develop another player for us.
