Elite 2025 Linebacker Christian Jones Sets Notre Dame Visit

Notre Dame was able to make an impact in Omaha (Neb.) Westside in the 2024 recruiting class when they received a commitment from linebacker Teddy Rezac back in May. The Irish staff hopes to tap into that pipeline again, eyeing 2025 linebacker Christian Jones, who is one of the top overall defenders in his class.

For the first time, Jones will be visiting South Bend. He told Irish Breakdown that he will be making the trip to campus for the Notre Dame matchup against Ohio State on September 23rd.

"I’m just excited to see Notre Dame in general,” Jones said. "It’s my first trip so I really just want to explore and experience everything.”

Jones is rated as a four-star and top 100 recruit nationally by 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals. 247Sports has him pegged as the No. 51 overall player and No. 7 linebacker in the 2025 recruiting class. Every major recruiting platform has Jones rated as the top recruit in the state of Nebraska.

That overall ranking matches Jones’ offer list, which is impressive. Some of the top programs who have offered him so far include Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Washington, Michigan State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Stanford, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State, Boston College, Kansas and Minnesota among others.

The 6-3, 215-pound defender is coming off a tremendous season in 2022. As a sophomore, Jones was instrumental for the State Champion Westside defense. He finished with 60 total tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, an interception, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

So far as a junior, Jones has recorded 11 total tackles, one tackle for loss, a pass breakups and forced fumble through three games. He has also made one reception for 23 yards on the offensive side of the football.
