Jeremiah Jones brings junior-sized punch and steady tackling to Akron’s linebacker room
In the 2026 season, Akron junior linebacker Jeremiah Jones is a 6-foot, 235-pound former junior-college transfer who brings a compact, physical build and proven production from Southwestern CC, where he logged 111 total tackles across two seasons before arriving in Akron. He’s the kind of inside defender who fits if you want a reliable, downhill tackler with a résumé that suggests toughness and consistency rather than flash. Early-season tracking shows him active in Akron’s rotation, and his profile points to a solid, workmanlike linebacker who can help stabilize the middle.
