Jones is ranked 14th at his position on Rivals, which gives him four stars. Scout and 24/7 Sports only give him three stars. The former has Jones 33rd at his position and the latter has him 26th.

According to Rivals, Jones holds offers from the following schools: Michigan State, Arizona, Boston College, Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Texas A&M, among others.

As pointed out by Chris Vannini, Jones has now joined the list of players from Moeller High School to commit to the Spartans.
