Jones helped Wharton High School, located in Tampa, Fla., to a district title during his career there and led the Wharton defense to a No. 1 ranking in Hillsborough County.
Jones was named first-team all-Southern Conference by the media and second-team all-SoCon by the coaches following his senior season, in which he racked up a team-leading 112 tackles, including 17 tackles for loss and four sacks. He finished his career with Elon as the program's fifth-leading tackler all-time with 343 tackles.
