Jason Jones Jr. commits to Colby Community College for 2026 class

Jason Jones Jr. committed to Colby Community College, giving Matt Glover another guard-sized building block as the Trojans continue shaping their 2026 class. The move added a Class of 2026 prospect to a roster pipeline that Colby is trying to establish early, before the fall grind of enrollment, workouts and roster sorting begins.

Jones arrives with a profile that fits the modern NJCAA backcourt. FieldLevel lists him at 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds and ties him to KC Red Storm 16U, PAC Sports Performance and Bonner Springs High School. Prep Hoops describes him as a 6-foot-3 combo guard and point guard, while NCSA Sports lists him as a 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard. Taken together, those listings point to a lead guard who can handle the ball, score and move across backcourt roles rather than a size-dependent post prospect.

That kind of versatility matters in junior college basketball, where staffs often lean on players who have already competed in multiple settings and can adjust quickly to the speed and physicality of the level. Jones’ background in Kansas and Missouri club basketball, along with his high school work at Bonner Springs, suggests he has already been evaluated in several environments. For Colby, that gives Glover and assistant coach Caleb Ligon a player whose development can be shaped inside the program instead of starting from scratch.

The commitment also fits the recruiting calendar on the junior-college side, where early pledges can help a staff map out depth before the class hardens. Colby’s recent roster picture gives the addition more context: the Trojans announced on April 20, 2026, that sophomore D.J. Cason earned All-KJCCC Honorable Mention after leading the team in several offensive categories during the 2025-26 campaign. Jones steps into a program that is already defining its guard hierarchy and looking ahead to the next wave of minutes.

Bonner Springs adds another layer to the fit. The Braves finished the 2025-26 season 22-1 in KSHSAA 5A sub-state play, a winning environment that suggests Jones has spent time in a program accustomed to pressure and expectations. That background, along with his club résumé, gives Colby a 2026 commitment with a chance to develop into a quick-turn contributor in the Trojans’ backcourt.
