West Virginia made the cut alongside Miami, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida State, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Jackson State.

"I’ve seen them play a few times and they look like a good team & a program that produces good players,' Jones Jr. said of West Virginia. "It seems like a brotherhood from the players to the fans. Every game I’ve seen there’s a good fan turnout & I feel like not a lot of schools have a fan base as loyal as the Mountaineers."

This past season as a junior, Jones Jr. finished with 55 tackles and 13 sacks. He is a pure pass rusher that utilizes several different moves to get into the backfield and disrupt the pocket. As long as he remains healthy and continues to develop, he should be someone that can come right in and be an immediate impact at the collegiate level.

Jones Jr. is a consensus four-star and will likely end up on the 2021 SI All-American Watchlist.
