Early years
Jones grew up in Murray, Utah and attended Murray High School, where he played basketball and football.[1]
College career
Jones played in two games as a true freshman before suffering a thumb injury against Stephen F. Austin and redshirting the remainder of the season.[2] Jones became a starter as a redshirt sophomore and was named third-team All-Big Sky Conference. He started four games at left tackle during his redshirt junior season, which was shortened and played in the spring of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and was named first-team all-conference.[3] Jones repeated as a first-team All-Big Sky selection in 2021.[4] During the season, Jones received an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl.[5][6]
