Not a four star, but a superb offer list.

Seems like it's probably a matter of time.

Offers from:

Ohio State
Michigan
Georgia
Tennessee
Ole Miss
Auburn
UW
and the Trogans.

Will be very interesting to see where we slot him, he's listed at 6'5-240 but with an 80" wingspan, so it seems like he'll end up either at edge or SSDE.

I see him as a osa type dt that will be able to rush the passer from inside. He has been talking with Jethro a lot so looks like that’s where he will be. From on 3 he’s at like 280 right now.

Irvine (Calif.) Crean Lutheran four-star EDGE Anthony Jones has committed to UCLA. Washington had some momentum earlier this spring. Tennessee was a strong contender. In the end, Jones decided to stay home.

We now have two players named Anthony Jones, each of whom is an edge rusher who measures roughly 6'4" and 250 lbs, give or take. One's a transfer with two years of eligibility while the other's an incoming freshman.

Nice! Imagine if both are in the game at the same time, on either edge. Not exactly a "Two-Ball sack, but could create some memorable moments.

He has a great offer list. Comes from a small school in Irvine. He could have played anywhere in Orange or LA County but chose to prioritize academics. He reminds me of Datone Jones. He will only get bigger.

Maybe Fosters best defensive recruit to date.
