As a true freshman in 2025, his performance during fall camp and preseason scrimmages led to him securing the backup role behind starter DJ Lagway, ahead of competitors Aidan Warner and Harrison Bailey. Jones appeared in two games during the season, completing 21 of 35 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions noted in limited action. He made his collegiate debut in the second half of the season opener against Long Island University on August 30, 2025, where he completed 12 of 18 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns, earning praise from head coach Billy Napier for his poise and accuracy as a pure passer. Jones later played the entire second half in a game at Kentucky, going 9 of 17 for 60 yards.
During the 2026 offseason, there was a battle for the starting quarterback position between Jones and Aaron Philo with the latter ultimately winning the job. Jones was named the backup quarterback, playing mostly in blow outs against early season opponents. In week 7 with Philo injured, Jones got his first start in an away match against #7 ranked Texas. Florida ultimately won the game 27-24 with Jones throwing for 155 yards with 2 touchdowns.
