Heading into Saturday, Jones leads NCAA FBS in four categories — total receptions (139), receiving yards (1,473), receptions per game (13.9) and receiving yards per game (147.3) so far this season.
Jones was recently named one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best receiver. The wide receiver needs only 17 catches to set the NCAA FBS single-season record, which is held by Bowling Freddie Barnes, who had 155 catches in 2009.
