Jones became the fifth Cougar in the past six years be invited to the annual senior showcase, joining Isaiah Johnson (2019), Tyus Bowser (2017), William Jackson III (2016) and Joey Mbu (2015).

Along with the Senior Bowl invitation, the Richmond native was named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, an award given to the top interior lineman in the nation by the Football Writers Association of America.

Former Cougar and Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver won the award in 2017.

A team captain for Houston with the longest starting streak with 24 games on the offensive line, Jones is considered a top-10 NFL prospect at his position.
