He is a native of Arlington, Va., who played his junior season at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep.

Jones plays his travel ball with Team Durant out of Washington, D.C. and averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game on the EYBL circuit this past campaign.
We framed Arizona State as the biggest threat, and the Sun Devils made a fervent push down the stretch.
Clemson attracted Jones for an official visit three weeks ago in conjunction with the Florida State football weekend.
With starting point Chase Hunter likely to pursue professional opportunities after this season, the Tigers had long eyed selling the opportunity so as to attract a higher-end 2024 point guard.
Jones becomes the third commitment for the Tigers' recruiting class, joining Little Rock (Ark.) Parkview four-star forward Dallas "Slim" Thomas and La Porte (Ind.) La Lumiere combo guard Ace Buckner.
