[2] Jones played for four years in the Southern Jaguars football program, which included two SWAC West Division Titles.

The 2018 season would be a breakout year for Jones, who developed a chemistry with now full-time starter and the Eastern Division's Most Outstanding Player candidate Masoli.

Jones' contributions were especially important to the Tiger-Cat's postseason goals given the season ending injuries to receivers Brandon Banks, Jalen Saunders, Chris Williams, and Terrence Toliver, as well as first overall draft pick Mark Chapman not reporting to the team.

With a head coaching change and the emergence of Most Outstanding Rookie nominee Jaelon Acklin combined with the season ending injury to Masoli in 2019, Jones saw less use, but still provided quality depth for the Division Champion Tiger-cats who set the franchise record for wins in a season.

The defender in coverage was ironically also named Mike Jones, who had also caused the injury to Brandon Banks earlier in the game.

[7] Jones became a free agent in February 2020, and signed with the Edmonton Football Team on January 4, 2021.
