Last season, Jones appeared in three games for the BYU defense against Utah Tech, Liberty, and Stanford. He finished the season with one tackle in 30 snaps played.

That you to Brigham Young University Athletics and all of the individuals that played a role in making this University feel like home," Jones said in his personal announcement on Instagram. "Thank you to all of the coaches that played a part in my athletic journey to get to BYU. I would like to thank Coach Sitake for his continued support during my time at BYU. Lastly I would like to thank Cougar nation for all the love and support that I witnessed for two years. With that being said, I will be entering the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining."

Jones is the 14th member of the BYU football program to enter the transfer portal since the start of the 2022 season. He joins former Cougars Jacob Conover, Terrence Fall, Campbell Barrington, Clark Barrington, Dallin Holker, Tate Romney, Logan Fano, Keenan Pili, Nathaniel Gillis, Talin Togiai, Korbyn Green, Gabe Jeudy-Lally, and Isaiah Perez as players on the 2022 roster than have entered the transfer portal.
