His performance earned him four-time Academic All-Big Ten honors from 2020 through 2023.Originally from Grayson High School in Georgia, Jones helped his team to a state championship during his sophomore year, earning him attention as a top recruit. Rated as a four-star prospect by multiple recruiting services, he was recognized both statewide and nationally.

Scouting Report: Summary
Trente Jones has carved a path at Michigan, proving his mettle in the trenches. His ability to step in during high-pressure games, particularly after the loss of key starters, underscores his adaptability. While primarily a rotational player, his performance in games such as the CFP National Championship showcased his capacity to anchor the right tackle spot effectively. His versatility across the offensive line, coupled with his knack for stepping up in critical situations, presents a strong case for his potential.However, Jones’s relatively few starts raise questions about his immediate readiness as a full-time starter in the NFL. His experience, mostly as a sixth lineman, may suggest a need for further development against NFL-caliber opponents. The lack of consistent starting experience could hinder his draft stock, but his utility role and situational effectiveness offer a unique upside.
Overall, Trente Jones's draft profile is that of a prospect with decent-upside, but a developmental prospect. Teams looking for a versatile lineman who can grow into a more prominent role may find value in his adaptable skill set.
