He started four games at left tackle during his redshirt junior season, which was shortened and played in the spring of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and was named first team all-conference.[3] Jones repeated as a first team All-Big Sky selection in 2021.[4] During the season, Jones received an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl.[5][6]
