RECOGNIZING ERNEST JONES
______
HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, March 15, 2022
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Ernest Jones of Waycross, Georgia for his victory with the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
Ernest is no stranger to successful seasons, his Senior year on the Ware County Gators High School Football team, he recorded 112 tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, three forced fumbles, and was named first-team Class 5-AAAAA.
From Ware County, Ernest committed to play football at the University of South Carolina, where he quickly became a starter following his freshman year.
Ernest led the team in tackles following his sophomore and junior seasons with ninety-seven tackles his sophomore year and eighty-six tackles his junior year, with five tackles for loss.
The Los Angeles Rams selected Ernest with the 103rd pick of the 2021 NFL Draft and became the starter in week eight of their championship run.
In the Super Bowl, Ernest was a force to be reckoned with, amassing seven tackles, one sack, and a pass block in the Rams' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Ernest is a prime example of hard work, dedication, and has a contagious love for the game of football.
His work ethic and drive are examples for us all to follow, and we are blessed to have him here in the First District of Georgia.
I Congratulate Ernest on being a world champion.
