Do-it-all athlete who projects as one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured in at around 6-foot-0.5, 175 pounds with a 31-inch arm. A strong athlete in track and field, improving his sprint times, posting a 10.97 second 100 meter dash as a junior along with an impressive 6-4 foot high jump.

Rushed for 1,279 yards and 20 touchdowns while averaging over 10 yards per carry. Also had 7 receiving touchdowns on just 14 catches. A smooth, natural athlete. An easy mover who is capable of pulling away once in the open field. Shows encouraging cover skills and functional athleticism when projecting as a defensive back. Plays with good instincts and toughness. Closes quickly and drives through ball carriers as a tackler. Ball skills developed from his time on offense aid as a defensive back.

Demello Jones earns fifth star in final On300 Rankings

Charles Power•

Georgia cornerback signee Demello Jones (No. 21) has been a steady riser over the course of the cycle for On3 and earns his fifth star in the final update. The Swainsboro (Ga.) High star has a ton of positive indicators as a prospect. He was a two-way playmaker, with back to back 1,000 yard rushing seasons in addition to strong play at corner while leading Swainsboro to consecutive state title berths. Jones is a physical, athletic corner prospect. He sports a strong athletic profile as a state champion in the 100 meters, state finalist in the high jump in addition to being a double-digit scorer in basketball. There’s a bunch of developmental upside for the south Georgia product.
