During his freshman season, Jones tallied 13 tackles, four interceptions, three pass breakups, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He recorded at least two stops in three of his last four games of the season and returned an interception 35 yards.

West Virginia safeties coach Gabe Franklin got in early on Jones before he enters a sophomore season where he'll garner more attention from FBS schools.
