Chattanooga State CC Rather than head right off to a four-year college or university out of high school, Jones-Jennings stayed in Chattanooga and attended Chattanooga State Community College (CSCC) for two years. As a
power forward /
center, he earned all-conference honors in both seasons. During his
sophomore year, his final at CSCC, he averaged 16.3 points and 14.0 rebounds per game. In his first season, he was dubbed the
Sun Belt Conference Newcomer of the Year and a Third Team All-Conference selection after finishing the year ranked third nationally with 11.3 rebounds per game. He grabbed exactly 30 rebounds against in-state rival
Arkansas–Pine Bluff. He was the first Division I player in six years and just the second since 1994 to accomplish the feat. Jones-Jennings had a great all-around impact in his first season at UALR as he led the team in rebounding, minutes played, minutes per game, blocked shots, total points, field goals made,
free throws made and free throw attempts. Entering his final college season in
2006–07, he was only one of eight returning players nationally to have averaged a
double-double the year before. He also returned as the nation's top rebounder. Although the Trojans did not qualify for a postseason tournament in either of his two seasons, Jones-Jennings did garner much personal success, especially in his senior season. For the year, he recorded 18 double-doubles, 24 double-digit rebounding efforts and had three games with 20 or more rebounds, including a 25-point, 20-rebound performance against
Texas State. He
led Division I in rebounding on the year while averaging 13.1 per game in 30 games played. He was also a First Team All-Conference selection as he would go on to finish his Division I career with 731 points and 475 rebounds in 59 career games. ==Professional career==
