  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.
