The Path to Norman
A Nashville, Tennessee product, Jones stopped at Liberty University on his way to Oklahoma. After playing quarterback in high school, Jones took over a receiver role in college. Following a short time there, Jones joined the Oklahoma program after his 2017 season with Liberty.
Career So Far
Jones took a redshirt season in 2018 and did not play in 2019. In 2020, Jones took over holder responsibilities. He was rewarded by winning the Mortell Holder of the Year Award, OU’s second win in four seasons.
Congratulations to the 2020 Holder of the Year:

“The confidence he portrays on 4th down or for an extra-point is unparalleled. He had the top laces-out percentage in college football.”
