A four-year LSU starter at right tackle whom the Ravens took in the third round to add versatility up front.
Emery Jones Jr. arrived in Baltimore as the Ravens' third-round pick in 2025, a Baton Rouge native who spent his entire college career protecting quarterbacks in the SEC. The Ravens see him as a swing tackle candidate with a path to compete inside at guard as well.
Path to the league
Jones starred at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge before staying home to play at LSU, where he appeared in 38 games with 36 starts at right tackle. He was a third-team Freshman All-American in 2022 and earned second-team All-SEC honors in both 2023 and 2024. The Ravens selected him with the 91st overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Jones's four-year run as a starter at right tackle made him one of the more experienced offensive linemen in his draft class, having faced SEC competition every week since his true freshman season. His development at LSU under a demanding SEC schedule was a major selling point for Baltimore's front office.
2025 season recap
As a rookie, Jones worked into the Ravens' offensive line rotation after Baltimore lost interior lineman Patrick Mekari in free agency, giving him a chance to compete for time at both tackle and guard. His rookie season included a stretch dealing with injury that affected his availability, per the team's own updates on his timeline.
