On June 9th, Jones III verbally committed to NC State after taking an Official Visit to Raleigh. Then on June 20th, he decommitted. Jones III took Official Visits to UCF and Illinois after his visit with the Wolfpack, but ultimately committed to the Fighting Illini.
ON3 ranks Jones III as the #60 overall player in the state of Florida in the 2025 recruiting class.
NC State already has 2 Cornerbacks in their 2025 recruiting class in 3-Star Cam Strong and 3-Star Caden Gordon.
