Initially projected as an offensive guard, Jones committed to Penn State on June 28, 2009 after being recruited by Mike McQueary.[1]
College career
After limited action in his freshman and sophomore seasons, Jones was Penn State's starting defensive tackle opposite Jordan Hill in 2012, his junior season and recorded 22 tackles, two tackles for a loss, and a half sack. During the subsequent offseason, Jones committed to losing weight to become more quick, and dropped 25 pounds, coming into the 2013 season at 315 pounds. In the first game of the 2013 season, Jones' work paid off, as he recorded nine tackles, three for a loss, and a sack.[2] After the second game, Jones had already amassed 18 tackles, 5 tackles for a loss (TFL), and 2 sacks.[3] After three games, his five TFL led the Big Ten.[4] Halfway through the season, ESPN.com called him Penn State's defensive most valuable player.[5]
