Offensive tackle Jonathan Toney commits to Memphis

After wrapping up his official visit with Memphis on Sunday, offensive tackle Jonathan Toney has committed to Memphis. The three-star became Memphis’ fifth commit in the class of 2027, and the fourth recruit to commit from the official visits over the weekend. 

Toney is a three-star offensive tackle from Dublin, Georgia, and he holds 19 offers, according to 247Sports. The offensive tackle visited Appalachian State to start the month, and Memphis was his second visit. 

Toney had a visit with Florida State scheduled and posted about it a few hours before announcing his commitment to Charles Huff’s team. The Georgia native becomes the second offensive lineman to commit to Memphis after Gage Luther committed to the team on Sunday.

The offensive tackle played on a line that helped West Laurens average 37.8 points per game and finish with a 13-1 record. The Raiders were a perfect 13-0 before falling to Jefferson in the state championship game.

The offensive tackle was named to the First-Team offense by Georgia High School Football Daily following the season.

In February, Toney measured 6-foot-7 and 280 pounds, and he ran a 5.52 40-yard dash at a Rivals camp. He also posted a 93” broad jump and a 27.5” vertical jump. He also participated in the America’s Navy National Combine in San Antonio in January.

Memphis has now secured commitments from five of the seven players who were on official visits over the weekend. The only two who didn’t commit to Memphis are wide receiver MJ Knight and offensive lineman Bryson Sanderson. 

Knight announced his commitment to Georgia Southern on Saturday, while Sanderson has remained uncommitted. 

It was the most recruits the Tigers have had for official visits, and six of the seven visitors arrived on campus uncommitted. The only committed player on the official visit was quarterback Ethan Tisdale.

The Georgia native committed to Memphis on May 22 after taking an unofficial visit during the spring, but he still took an official visit. It’s safe to say the Tigers’ future quarterback was doing some recruiting.

On Saturday, local cornerback Malik Dean Jr. announced his commitment to the program while on his official visit. On Sunday, Huff and his staff secured commitments from Luther and  wide receiver Aubrey Johnson, who flipped from Florida Atlantic.

With five commitments, Memphis’ 2027 class ranks No. 102 in the country and No. 6 in the American, according to 247Sports.
