Published:
Dawand Jones has had a productive career during his time at Ohio State. Though rated a 3-star prospect by the 247 Sports Composite coming out of high school, the athleticism of the dual-sport football and basketball star was immediately evident.
As a member of the 2019 recruiting class, Jones technically had eligibility on the table for the 2023 season. However, he is also rated highly as an NFL Draft prospect after receiving multiple All-American nods for the 2022 season.

Entering this season, Jones had appeared in 28 games with 14 career starts, and he has been an anchor for the offensive line of the Buckeyes. Before heading to the Senior Bowl, Jones will try to help lead Ohio State to its first national title since 2014.
Jones will join fellow Buckeye Zach Harrison in Mobile with Harrison previously accepting his invitation to the Senior Bowl.
