While growing up in Shreveport, Jones played for his father, Mack Jones who was a legendary Louisiana high school coach, taking the Huntington Raiders to the Top 28 in 2008 which was the second time in school history while achieving the best record in school history, 37-4.

Jones moved on to play for George Ivory at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (2008-2013).
