Loganville (Ga.) Grayson sophomore Joseph “Jojo” Stone has a new title. He’s an All-American. The 6-foot, 180-pound multi-positional phenom announced Saturday night via his Twitter account that he was going to be playing in the All-American Bowl in San Antonio in 2024.

Stone has been a key player at Georgia powerhouse Grayson for two years. He already has offers from nearly two dozen schools.

For a young player, Stone has accomplished a lot. Playing in the All-American Bowl is one of his crown piece achievements.

“It means a lot to me knowing how hard I had to work for it,” Stone said. “I’ve always seen people commit and be able to showcase their talent on a huge stage, but words can’t explain what it means to play in the game.”

Joseph Stone up next?

Stone hopes to be the next in line of a long list of high school stars that played in the game before starring at the next level and the one after that.

“I always watched both the Under Armour and Adidas game,” Stone said. “I love how it gives players a chance to shine. It lets all their hard work pay off as they go off to college.”

It was a relationship that helped Stone decide on which of the two All-American showcases to play in.

“I went ahead and decided because I’ve had a relationship with Erik Richards for a while,” Stone said. “The Adidas game was always a big event, so I felt like when I got the opportunity to be a part of something huge like that I went ahead and went with it.”

Stone still has two and years left in his high school football career. He has a lot of time to improve and grow as a player. Stone plans to take advantage of that now that the All-American tag is attached to his name.

“Me being so young and be now being an all American I feel like I have to work harder because this opportunity isn’t given to everyone,” Stone said.
