apparently has declared for the draft.
Don't know anything about him, he wasn't even on CBSsports list of prospects for this year. However...(from Mocking the draft)
Intriguing. Time to watch some Syracuse games. Anyone with any info?

There are several factors that should benefit Jones in the draft process. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Jones has rare length for the position and great straight-forward speed. Based on his family members — one brother, Arthur Jones is a Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, and the other, Jon Jones, is a UFC champion — it's easy to guess that Jones will test out extremely well.
Jones flashed dominance at times in 2011, most notably against Pittsburgh earlier this month. In that game, he finished with 4 tackles, 2 tackles for loss an interception and a forced fumble. But he was routinely the first player off the line of scrimmage and getting into the backfield.
Tony Pauline of SI.com/NFL Draft Insider noted earlier today that Jones received a third-round grade from the NFL Draft advisory board. Based on how many defensive ends get drafted, Jones could work his way into the end of the second round with good workouts. Judging by how he plays, Jones could test out like Jason Pierre-Paul did in 2010 and skyrocket up draft boards.
