Jones, plagued by injuries over the last two seasons, missed Eastern Washington's final two games this season -- a national semifinal against Villanova and the championship game against Delaware -- because of a broken left foot.
JBScouting.com reported that Jones received a third-round grade from the NFL Advisory Board, which undoubtedly factored into his decision. KXLY-4 in Spokane reported that Jones has hired an agent.
This season, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Jones rushed for 1,724 yards and 14 touchdowns despite missing three games and parts of two others while Eastern Washington went 13-2. Also an excellent receiver and kickoff returner, Jones' 201.8 all-purpose yards per game ranked second in the FCS.
The breakaway threat was named the Big Sky Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Year and earned first-team all-conference honors. He was a second-team selection on The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America Team and was fourth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award (sponsored by Fathead.com) which honors the outstanding player in the FCS.
