Jones is a 5-foot-8 guard out of South Bend, Ind. and was a prominent player for the Boilers the past two seasons. She appeared in 59 total games and made 20 starts across two seasons in West Lafayette.
As a sophomore during the 2024-25 season, Jones averaged 9.8 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. She put together one of the best performances of her career in Purdue's wins over Penn State on Feb. 27, scoring 32 points, dishing out eight assists, grabbing six rebounds and recording a steal.
