Jorden Edmonds’ Big Decision: Which College Will He Choose?
Marietta’s Rising Star
So, here’s the scoop: Jorden Edmonds, a talented cornerback from Marietta, Georgia, is gearing up to make a big decision about where he’ll play college football. And he’s picked a special day for it—his birthday on February 19. Talk about a memorable way to celebrate!
The Big Five: Who’s in the Running?
Edmonds has narrowed his choices down to some of the biggest names in college football: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. These schools are all hoping to land this promising player.
A Top Prospect
Standing tall at 6-foot-3 and weighing 160 pounds, Edmonds is not just any player. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, which takes into account evaluations from major recruiting media, he’s the No. 140 overall prospect in the 2026 class. He’s also ranked as the No. 12 cornerback in the nation and the No. 19 recruit in Georgia. Pretty impressive stats, right?
Alabama’s Leading the Pack
Right now, it looks like Alabama and Georgia are the frontrunners. Edmonds himself said last month that Alabama holds the top spot for him. "Alabama is on top," he shared. "I’ve been there four or five times, and they really make me feel at home. The coaches treat my family and me really well, and that always stands out."
He also mentioned how he could see himself playing early on at Alabama, which is a big deal for any young athlete. Coach Mo, aka Maurice Linguist, seems to have made quite an impression on him. Edmonds noted, "Coach Mo is great. I’ve seen how involved he is in drills, and he takes it personally."
Other Schools Making Their Case
But it’s not just Alabama that’s caught his eye. Here’s what Edmonds had to say about the other schools:
-
Florida: "I’ve been to Florida for a Junior Day and a game, and there’s a good feeling there. They make it personal, and I like that. Coach Will Harris recruits me hard, and I like him. Plus, Florida’s facilities are top-notch, and it’s a beautiful place."
-
Georgia: "I’ve visited Georgia at least five times. It’s close to home, it’s a solid program, and they give young players a chance. Coach Donte Williams and I talk almost every other day, and he always wants me up in Athens. The coaches and players make it fun to be there."
- Tennessee: "Tennessee was one of my earlier offers. I’ve only been there once, but they’ve recruited me hard. I train with some players who are going there, and I want to get back on campus. They’ve been playing well, and I like what they’re doing."
What’s Next for Edmonds?
As Jorden Edmonds approaches his big decision, the excitement is building. Which jersey will he wear next fall? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure, though—wherever he goes, Edmonds is set to make a splash. Stay tuned!
