Bio
Last updated: Jan. 13, 2021
2020 (FRESHMAN): Did not see game action … sat out the season due to injury.
HIGH SCHOOL: Had three non-offensive touchdowns in the Bears’ rival game with Clovis North - one kickoff return for a touchdown and two interceptions returned for touchdowns ... had five total interceptions ... Jones helped Buchanan High School to a 10-3 overall record (4-1 league) in 2019 ... All-League selection as a senior.
PERSONAL: Born in Fresno ... son of Charlie and Lana Jones ... is the youngest of five children - Jaiden, Jessica, Briselynn and Breana ... his father Charlie is a former Bulldog (1992-95) who went on to play professionally for the Chargers (1996-99) and Saints (2000) ... cousin of former Bulldog Lorenzo Neal (1990-92) who had a 17-year professional career, and a nomination for the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame ... his great grandfather played professional football, and his uncle Tommy Jones played football for the Bulldogs in the 90's and pursued a professional career overseas ... decided to attend Fresno State because of the atmosphere at Bulldog Stadium on game day ... is a psychology major.
Assoc. HC/OC Ryan Grubb’s remark on Jones....
“His dad played here, so getting a guy like CJ is a big deal. People will think about his father Charlie, but we recruited CJ for CJ. He is a phenomenal football player in his own. He was committed early and he stuck with us through this coaching transition. He is Bulldog proud and he is excited to be here, and we are excited to have him.”
