Jones became a starting tackle for the Tigers two games into his true freshman season, playing across from fellow true freshman Will Campbell.[10][11] He ultimately appeared in 14 games, 12 as a starter, for the team that year, being named a Freshman All-American and a selection to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) All-Freshman team.[6][12] In his second season, he started 12 games and was named second-team All-SEC while helping LSU become a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, given to the nation's best offensive line.[6] He was named one of the top 10 returning offensive tackles for the 2024 season by Pro Football Focus (PFF).[13]
