Jones has mainly played tackle during high school and could either stick there or move to the interior of the offensive line during his time at BYU. He his agile for his size and makes strong, powerful blocks in the run game. Jeff Hansen of 247 Sports reported that Jones will first serve a Church mission before enrolling at BYU.
