He passed for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns during a dominant season for Alabama. Jones completed 77.4% of his passes during his redshirt junior season. Teammate and receiver DeVonta Smith won the Heisman.
Jones could be positioned as the highest draft pick from Bolles should he go where some projections have him as. One CBSSports mock draft has Jones going sixth to Carolina, although others place him in the mid- to late first round.
Tight end Hayden Hurst was the 25th overall pick by the Ravens in 2018, the highest draft spot for a Bolles football alum.
