Now, the youngest Jones has officially committed to play for Arkansas. Both his grandfather, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and his father, John Stephen Jones, attended the school in Fayetteville.
The Fighting Scots leader officially pledged his future to the Razorbacks on the back of two-straight Texas state titles. He won’t graduate and move on the Fayetteville until the summer, but he’s already ensuring fans that’s he all in with new Arkansas and former SMU coach Chad Morris, who recruited the quarterback for both the Mustangs and now the Razorbacks.
