Jones

Jones is a highly experienced, technically refined pivot who anchored the Joe Moore Award-winning front while logging over 2,800 career snaps exclusively at center. Jones took a major leap in 2025, posting a 90.7 PFF pass-block grade with a 99.4 pass-block efficiency, allowing just one sack and three total pressures on 336 pass-blocking snaps, showcasing elite control and consistency in protection. He pairs that polish with outstanding athletic testing, making him an ideal fit for zone-heavy systems. Jones plays with outstanding foot quickness, leverage and hand placement, consistently hitting landmarks in the run game while processing second-level threats with veteran awareness. However, his undersized frame (6’3/299) and sub-31-inch arms create natural limitations against long, powerful nose tackles who can disrupt his anchor and compress the pocket. Despite those concerns, Jones’ combination of elite movement skills, technique and production profiles him as a high-floor, center-only prospect with early starting potential in a zone-based system.

Jones (6'3/240) is the No. 47 defensive tackle in the 2020 draft class according to 247 Sports’ current rankings. There was a battle between the Hawkeyes and Iowa State for Jones, who is the third best 2020 recruit in the state of Iowa.
