University of Georgia[]
A native of Columbus,[1] Jones was a prominent running back for the Georgia Bulldogs football team of the University of Georgia.[2] In 1897, he was on the team during the season in which Richard Von Albade Gammon died. He was a renowned punter; a skill which had him moved to fullback by 1898.[3] In this capacity Jones was selected All-Southern by W. A. Lambeth.[4] Georgia beat Vanderbilt for the first time in '98. Jones was captain-elect for the '99 season.[5]
