Kody Jones comes to Michigan from Memphis, Tennessee where he played high school football at Germantown High School. However, Jones didn’t spend all his time there, as he transferred from Fairley High to follow his coach to Germantown.
Due to Covid, Jones lost one season of high school football, but he had a successful senior campaign with the Red Devils. Germantown finished 8-3 during his senior season. Jones is noted as a DB on the Michigan roster, but he dabbled on the offense in high school as he was a two-way player then.
Jones earned a four-star ranking from 247Sports during his recruitment, being ranked the 327th best player in his class, 13th ranked athlete in his class and 11th ranked player from the state of Tennessee.
