He's been a force to be reckon with thus far this season. If he doesn't get injured vs. Tenn. He may have made an impact for us in the game that may have made that game closer.

He has 90 tackles, and 3 sacks this year.

could be a Woodyard, or Trevathen, or a Williamson type Backer, all three start on NFL rosters, hoping Kash and Eli are paying attention if so we could have several starting backers in the league

He is going to be physically better than all of the guys you just named in my opinion. He can add another 10-15 pounds good weight before leaving, and seems faster than Woodyard or Trevathan to my eye.

He's the best I've seen in a long time. Of the recent ones, Trevathan is the only one close but Trevathan was not as good as a sophomore as Jones has been. Woodyard was great, has had a long NFL career but he was not as good as Jones. Jones explosion is what sets him apart, imo.

I think he'll have a long career playing on Sundays. IMO Westry will as well.

I think when all is said and done he will be better than Wesley, Danny and Avery. Once he learns to slow down some and not go a 100mph all the time and overrun plays he will be great. I don't know how many times this year he was going way too fast and run right by the QB. If he would have just pulled up a step he would have had a sack.

The guy plays every play like it is going to be his last. Also shows up to the ball with bad intentions for whoever happens to be the ball carrier. ☠️☠️☠️ The guy also does a decent job of spying the QB and being disruptive. By far my favorite player on D.

He isn't the "next" great UK LB. He is the currently great UK LB! Guy is already a stud and will only get better.

This kid is all over the field. He still looks a tad undersized... If he can bulk up some and maintain his speed, look-out!! He has a knack for the ball and continues to better. If the whole defense played like him we would have something

He will naturally get stronger. His weight is not an issue. We just need to continue to add players around him. I really hope Kash can unseat Love next year. He is so much more explosive. He just needs to learn the d. The biggest thing we need is dlineman and backups for Ware and Allen. I hope we can land difference makers so next year we can win 8 9 games

Kash looked much better in the last game. Was actually calling out d signals. Made tackles inside and out on consecutive plays.

I love Jones. He has elite speed as an ILB.

I was really impressed with Bonner. He looked every bit as fast as Jones. He needs to add weight to play Jack. But he may be our fastest LB

Bonner a guy that could push to start for next year with a good offseason.

I think Bonner is getting over looked. He still needs development but he's going to be really good. He might be our best pass rusher next season.
