31 May
Summary
- Washington Huskies offered 2028 prospect Akeem Jones Jr.
- Jones Jr. had 49 tackles and 10 TFL in sophomore season.
- UW has offered at least 10 prospects from New Jersey in 2028.
The Washington Huskies have entered the race for Akeem Jones Jr., a promising edge rusher from the 2028 recruiting class. Jones Jr., a sophomore at St. Augustine Prep, received a scholarship offer from Washington recently. He is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound athlete from Bridgeton, New Jersey.
Jones Jr.'s sophomore season was statistically strong, featuring 49 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and a fumble recovery. This performance has already garnered him offers from other Power Four programs like Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, and Penn State. Despite his growing offer list, he remains unranked by major recruiting services.
Washington's coaching staff is actively recruiting New Jersey prospects for the 2028 cycle, having offered at least 10 players from the Garden State. This strategy mirrors their efforts in the 2027 class, where they have also extended numerous offers to recruits from the state. The Huskies aim to get Jones Jr. on campus for an unofficial visit in the upcoming fall.
