Jones’ event featured signed items such as a game-worn cleat, jerseys, and footballs with a Tennessee logo. In Jones’ announcement on Twitter, he revealed his first-ever trading card, which is a limited edition item.

Jones is a redshirt senior from Saraland, Alabama. He is a 2022 Reece’s Senior Bowl invitee. He was named an SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against South Alabama (11/22/21). He played at Southern Cal before transferring to Tennessee.
