The Washington Huskies have added another big piece to its 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of 4-star cornerback Jeron Jones.  The 6-0, 175-pound defensive back chose UW over Texas A&M, Tennessee, California, Oregon, and Arizona State.

“Coach J-Rich (UW DB coach Johnathan Richardson) offered me like last October so it’s been a while,” Jones, Jr. said.  “He’s been on me more than a lot of schools.”

When Jones was offered back on October 19 last year Jones’ star was on the rise.

“He offered me when I was a 3-star, too,” Jones recalled.  “And he’s stuck by me all the way.”

But with coach Richardson it’s never just been about football.

“My connection with him is really really big.  Ever since he offered me he was always reaching out, checking up on me.  He likes to make sure how my life is going.  He has definitely put a big impact in my recruitment,” he said.  That’s also like one of the reasons why I’m so interested in Washington.

Jones is the 4th true corner in the 2026 class along with Elijah Durr (3-star, Tacoma), Ksani Jiles (3-star, IMG Academy), and CJ Lavender (3-star, Mater Dei).

Jones’ pledge moves the Huskies solidly into a top 15 class with several more commitments remaining.
