Jones announced on X on Nov. 9 that he was flipping his commitment to Mississippi State.

"I want to start by thanking the University of Colorado, Coach Prime, the entire coaching staff, and everyone who has supported me during my time committed to Boulder," Jones posted. "After a lot of prayer, conversations with my family, and careful consideration, I have decided to go back home."

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound tackle is a four-star prospect according to 247Sports Composite rankings. He is the 17th-best player in Tennessee's class of 2027. This is Jones' first season at Brentwood Academy, after transferring from Jackson Callaway (Mississippi). He originally committed to Colorado on May 24.

Jones also holds offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Georgia, Vanderbilt and more.

Jones is the fourth local player to commit to Mississippi State alongside the Riverdale trio of quarterback Gavin Hampton, athlete Sutton Gutting and safety Hudson Fuqua.

With Jones' flip, Brentwood Academy is boasting seven SEC commitments: Kesean Bowman (Tennessee), Kenneth Simon II (Tennessee), Jones (Mississippi State), Rance Brown (Auburn), Judah Lancaster (South Carolina), Crews Jenkins (Ole Miss) and Braylan Bedford (Ole Miss).

Colorado now has just one commitment from the Nashville area in Antioch quarterback Andre Adams.
