On the field in the 2021 stint, Jones started in all 14 contests and was crucial to the team's C-USA East Division title game victory over Marshall. Over the course of last season, Jones recorded a total of 45 tackles, including 6.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks. Jones had his best game against Army, when he had nine tackles and a sack.
