Top 10 Texas defensive players for 2023 HS football season
5. Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, Sr., Oak Ridge
One of two War Eagles鈥� seniors on the list, the 6-foot-4, 255-pound defensive lineman was a steady force on the Oak Ridge defensive line where he recorded over 60 tackles, 7.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss. With nine quarterback hurries during his junior campaign, Jonah-Ajonye would help the program to a 7-4 record in 2022 and an opening playoff opportunity. With deeper postseason aspirations, Jonah-Ajonye will look to anchor the defense鈥檚 hopes before heading to play at Georgia.
Georgia has no shortage of options at the defensive line position, but I love what Joseph Jonah-Ajonye brings to the table. Fantastic first step and motor for a player of that size
