College career
As a true freshman in 2025, Jones appeared in two games, completing 21 of 35 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions noted in limited action.[11] He made his collegiate debut in the second half of the season opener against Long Island University on August 30, 2025, where he completed 12 of 18 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns, earning praise from head coach Billy Napier for his poise and accuracy as a pure passer.[12][13]
Jones later played the entire second half in a game at Kentucky, going 9 of 17 for 60 yards.[14] His performance during fall camp and preseason scrimmages led to him securing the backup role behind starter DJ Lagway, ahead of competitors Aidan Warner and Harrison Bailey.[15]
