Jones committed to Auburn way back in September of 2016, but de-committed in June 2017. The Powder Springs, Ga. native held offers from Wake Forest, Cincinnati, Georgia, and Minnesota. Jones has a composite rating of .899 from 247Sports.com, which places him as the 180th-best prospect in his class. Standing 6-foot-9, he’s a bit small for a center, but he’s got a similar physical profile as NU’s current center Dererk Pardon (6-foot-8, 235 pounds).
Jones becomes the second member of Northwestern’s 2019 class, joining combo guard Daniel Buie.
