Jones has been selected to participate in the 2026 Reese's NABC College All-Star Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as part of Reese's Final Four Friday. The game showcases 20 of the best senior players in NCAA Division I, is played annually on the Friday of Final Four weekend, and takes place on the same floor that will host the Men's Final Four Semifinal and Championship games. For Jones, the selection is a fitting capstone to a career defined by perseverance, development, and an unwavering belief in his own game.
A Season to Remember
Jones delivered the best season of his collegiate career this season, becoming one of the most reliable offensive weapons and versatile defenders on a Florida State team that battled through significant adversity. Including the regular season and the ACC Tournament, Jones ended the 2025-26 campaign averaging 12.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game.
His season's signature moment came early. Jones scored a career-high 36 points against Georgia Southern in November, tying the FSU program record for most three-pointers made in a single game with 10, a record originally set by George McCloud in 1989.
His excellence was recognized at the conference level as well. Jones was named to the All-ACC Tournament Second Team, validating what Seminoles fans had watched all season: a player who elevated his game when the stakes were highest.
What the Honor Means
For Jones, the Reese's NABC College All-Star Game will represent the culmination of a long and winding road, one that took him through two middling programs before he found his best basketball at Florida State. At 6-foot-7, Jones proved invaluable down the stretch on the glass and capable of guarding a range of positions, exactly the kind of two-way versatility that makes him an attractive prospect heading into the next phase of his career.
Whether his future is in professional basketball or elsewhere, his final act as a college player will be played in Indianapolis, in front of a national audience, on the grandest court in the game. For Jones, that is exactly where he belongs.
