In the regional round of the state playoffs, Jones registered 24 tackles against Waco Midway. He also played running back and receiver for Mansfield and returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Jones was named a second-team Class 6A all-state selection by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Previously, Jones played for Euless Trinity High School, where he was a first-team all-district selection as a junior.

Jones also visited Baylor and Ole Miss before choosing the Huskers and had offers from UCLA, Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah, among others. He was listed among the nation’s top 200 recruits by Rivals and top 300 recruits in the 247Sports Composite rankings. A consensus four-star prospect, Rivals listed Jones as the No. 18 safety in the nation.
