Jones attended the
University of Arkansas, where he was a member of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity.

1964 national championship football team. He was an
offensive lineman for
College Football Hall of Fame coach
Frank Broyles and a teammate of college football and NFL coach
Jimmy Johnson, whom Jones hired as his first head coach after purchasing the Cowboys.

Glen Ray Hines, a consensus
All-American offensive tackle;
Ken Hatfield, who went on to coach several major programs including Arkansas;
Jim Lindsey; future

North Texas State University, and the
University of Iowa);
Johnny Majors (
Iowa State University,
University of Pittsburgh, and the
University of Tennessee), and
