The Cincinnati Bearcats received a commitment from Class of 2027 defensive tackle Joshua Jones. The 6-foot-3, 275-pound senior from North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia, chose the Bearcats over Appalachian State, Charlotte, Georgia State, Colorado State, and Liberty. Jones is unranked according to 247 Sports, but seems to be an unrecruited player who is first team All-County in Georgia.
The Bearcats have been hard at work for the class of 2027, Jones is the 11th commit so far for the Bearcats, and is the second unranked player a part of the class and the second defensive lineman of the group.
In 2025, Jones finished with 17 total tackles, 15 of those tackles being solo. He has 4 sacks on the season, playing a crucial role in games against Norcross, Brookwood, Colquitt County, Douglas County, and Lowndes. Jones brought North Gwinnett High School all the way to the Georgia Class 6A state semifinals, where they would lose to Carrollton High School 48-21, and then advanced to play Buford.
North Gwinnett has a bunch of highly recruited players outside of Jones. Zach Lewis, an offensive lineman, is committed and signed to play for the Georgia Bulldogs. Kweli Fielder, a 2028 offensive lineman, holds offers from Ohio State, Georgia, Florida, and Miami but is uncommitted at the moment. Jake Godfrey, a linebacker and tight end, is committed to North Carolina State. Elam Rahman, a 2027 quarterback at North Gwinnett, is also gaining some attention on the national recruiting stage, holding offers from Auburn, Georgia, and Georgia Tech.
