Jones joins Marcus Domask and Dalton Banks as Salukis that have entered their name in to the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Jones averaged 13.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists this past season.  He was All-MVC Third-Team and an All-Defensive Team member as well this past season.  He was 2nd in the Missouri Valley Conference in steals per game with a 1.6 steals per game average.

Jones was originally recruited by Barry Hinson but when Bryan Mullins took over as the head coach of the program, Jones opted to stay with his commitment and became one of the cornerstones of Mullins’ program.
