4-star LB Kristopher Jones projected to commit to Georgia

Four-star linebacker Kristopher Jones is projected to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs. Jones is a member of the 2024 recruiting class.

Kirby Smart and Georgia football hold commitments from 26 recruits in the class of 2024. The Dawgs have a commitment from only one linebacker, so Georgia is looking to add more talent at that position group. Georgia has the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.

Jones plays linebacker for Fairfax High School in Fairfax, Virginia, which is outside of Washington D.C. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker is the No. 133 recruit in the country and the No. 9 linebacker. Jones is the second-ranked recruit in Virginia.

The four-star linebacker has five predictions to commit to Georgia football, per 247Sports. Jones’ other top contenders are Florida and Michigan State.

Jones is capable of disengaging from blocks and is a great blitzer. The Fairfax standout displayed speed, acceleration and quickness during an interception return for a touchdown last season.
