Jones attended East St. Louis High School in Illinois when he was teammates with Macaleab Rich, who was the first Wildcats player to enter the transfer portal on April 3.

Jones joins Rich, Dug McDaniel, Baye Fall, Ugonna Onyenso, Achor Achor (Mississippi State) and Brendan Hausen (Iowa) as former Kansas State players in the portal.

Jones exited high school as a two star recruit according to 247 Sports. Out of high school, Jones held offers from DePaul, University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) and Missouri. Jones initially committed to Missouri before decommitting and going to UIC, where he spent two seasons before transferring to Kansas State. Jones transferred to Kansas State after a solid sophomore season where he led the team in assists with 159 and minutes played with 1,102.

Jones' transfer comes just a day after Kansas State landed their fourth transfer in former Akron shooting guard and four star transfer Nate Johnson.
