Jones was First-Team All-Texas in her sophomore season and made the all-state second team in her freshman campaign.
According to ESPN, Jones is: "Agile finesse-5 combines soft touch in faceup attack complemented by interior game that yields results; nimble footwork, shot blocker in lane, disrupts and alters shots, cleans the glass and initiates the fast break; offers emerging offensive arsenal, utilizes either hand in key; among the elite front court prospects in the class of 2019."
