I rise today to recognize two- time Super Bowl champion Ernest Jones IV on his recent Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots. Before becoming a starter for the South Carolina Gamecocks, Ernest had a standout high school career in Waycross, Georgia. After college, he was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, with his career being a testament to persistence and resilience. He started out in Los Angeles before bouncing through some trades and found his home in Seattle, where his regular-season stats included 124 tackles and 5 interceptions. Jones is one of the league's most disruptive linebackers. The Seahawks' victory marked his second championship title and showcased the dedication and drive of the Georgia-born linebacker. This win is more than just another ring. It is a heartfelt demonstration of a journey filled with personal adversity, including the loss of his father last year. Georgia is proud of Ernest Jones and wishes him continued success in his football career. Honoring Augusta Students
