Iowa Lands 3-Star DB Darion Jones for 2026

News summary

Darion Jones, a three-star defensive back from Omaha North High School and the No. 2 player in Nebraska’s 2026 class, has committed to play college football for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jones chose Iowa over Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa State, and Kansas State, citing the welcoming atmosphere, family ties, and strong relationships with the coaching staff as key factors. In his standout junior season, Jones recorded over 700 receiving yards, 11 touchdown catches, eight interceptions, and four special teams scores. He will start at cornerback but may play multiple secondary positions and contribute as a return specialist. Jones announced his commitment on July 4, aligning with his mother's birthday and a family tradition. He joins Marcello Vitti and Ronnie Hill as defensive back commitments in Iowa’s 2026 recruiting class.
