Jones lined up at nose tackle for UCONN during his career, and made 48 tackles, 4.5 sacks during the 2021 season. During the pre-draft process, Jones was a standout at the Senior Bowl, where he won the Defensive Tackle of the Week award and was selected by his opposing OL at the Senior Bowl as the best defensive tackle.

Standing at 6'4" and 325 lbs., Jones is a massive tackle prospect that the Ravens will add to their defensive line.
