Cayden Jones is a rising Alabama linebacker with real development upside
Cayden Jones enters 2026 as a junior with 21 career games, 14 total tackles, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery, and 83 snaps of experience, giving Alabama a physical, ascending depth piece at linebacker. He’s 6-foot-4, around 230 pounds, and coaches have praised his build, athleticism, and steady strength gains; the knock is that his impact has mostly come on special teams and backup duty, plus he battled a lower-body injury in 2025. If you want a long, rangy linebacker who looks like he’s still scratching the ceiling, Jones is a smart fit.
