Carl Jones Jr.: UCLA Standout Turned NFL Raven Linebacker Prospect
Carl Jones Jr., a UCLA defensive standout who appeared in all 13 games with 4 starts in the 2023 season and set a school-record 57th appearance in the LA Bowl, has transitioned to the NFL as a 6'2", 230-lb linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens after being claimed off waivers in December 2025; his 61.2 PFF defensive grade in 2025 ranks him solidly, showcasing relentless intensity and tackling prowess (11 career tackles through Week 16), making him a high-motor depth piece with upside for teams needing gritty, versatile LB rotation players—no major injury history, just pure hustle.
