Jonesing for Another Year

STANFORD, Calif. – Sharp-shooting forward Spencer Jones will return for a fifth season to Stanford, using his additional year of eligibility. He announced his decision on Wednesday afternoon via his social media platforms.

Jones is a two-time All-Pac-12 selection, including second team honors in 2022 as well as defensive accolades in 2021. The Roeland Park, Kansas native averaged a team-best 14.1 points in 2022-23, with six 20-point outings, along with 4.7 rebounds per game. He ended the season 24th in school history in scoring, second in made 3-pointers and 12th in blocks.

Poised to leave a lasting legacy at Stanford and in the Pac-12, Jones stands 44 3-pointers away from breaking the program record currently held by Chasson Randle and 85 away from setting a new Pac-12 mark, besting the total currently held by former Oregon guard Tajuan Porter.

Jones was the only Pac-12 player in conference play last season to average at least 15.0 points per game and at least two made threes per contest while shooting at least 40 percent from 3-point range.
