The 6-foot, 175-pound Monroe, N.J., native previously played for DI Hartford University–which is now DIII–where he averaged 4.5 points and 1.3 boards per game last year.

In addition to suiting up for Roselle Catholic as a senior, Jones spent three years at Trenton Catholic Preparatory Academy (TCPA), scoring a total of 365 points in 43 contests, good for an 8.5 points per game average.
