In his collegiate career with the LSU Tigers, he placed second in the triple jump at the 1993 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships as well as coming seventh in the long jump and leading off the winning 4 × 100 meters relay team alongside Glenroy Gilbert, Chris King and Fabian Muyaba. The latter marked Louisiana's defence of that title, as Jones, King, Bryant Williams and Jason Sanders also won the NCAA 4 × 100 m relay in 1992.
