After high school, Jones opted to join Oklahoma.In 2018 as a freshman Jones saw action in just 2 games for the Sooners as he made 2 receptions for just 37 yards for an average of 18.5 yards per reception, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 109.0.
As a sophomore in 2019 he played 5 games and had just 2 catches for 42 yards for an average of 21.0 yards per catch, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 118.8.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
- Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
- Jones has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
- Jones fights his way off the line of scrimmage against press coverage, showing quick, violent hands and good balance.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Jones shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Jones too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
- Does not own elite speed. Freezes at times when trying to juke defenders in space. Walls off his man as a blocker, allowing them to shed and make the play outside.
- He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which he ran a limited route tree.
- Has only average height and overall length. Lacks initial burst off the line of scrimmage and has more build-up speed than track wheels. Limited explosiveness and flexibility and will struggle to separate against pro defensive backs
