The Oklahoma Sooners made the right decision to go after 2027 edge rusher Krew Jones, as he looks like he could play right now.
Landing four-star 2027 defensive end Krew Jones from Millville, Utah, significantly boosted the Sooners’ class this cycle. His only barrier to five-star status is the level of competition faced in high school, as his opponents lacked elite talent.
Jones has impressed at camps, where every player is evaluated by colleges, proving he’s highly skilled. He ranks as the 20th-best edge in his class and the second-best player in Utah for 2027. The Sooners also secured 2026 edge rusher Dane Bathurst, who has prototypical senior size. As a junior, Jones is even larger, demonstrating the physical traits and athleticism he brings to OU.

He showed that in his most recent video, where he looks to be at a camp, just absolutely destroying offensive linemen. This isn’t new for Jones; he’s shown these kinds of videos before. Last time, he was throwing offensive linemen around left and right, and in one play in particular, he threw a lineman onto his backside, almost as if he was the one doing the pancaking.
Krew Jones has all the tools necessary to be a great SEC edge rusher
Standing 6’4 and weighing 225 pounds, Jones has the ideal SEC edge rusher frame, complemented by long arms. Like many high school prospects, SEC weight training will help him fill out further. Recently, Jones excelled at an All-Star camp against top players, performing well beside his future teammates and current Sooners edge rusher Jake Kreul.
In the UA All-American game, Kreul was the standout, causing havoc, but Jones contributed with key plays. He recorded a sack by tracking the quarterback in the backfield as he tried to escape the pocket.
