The 6-foot-10, 240 pound forward hailing from Hiram, Ga., played in all 31 games for the Wildcats as a true freshman, earning more than 10 minutes per outing while averaging three points and two rebounds.
He hit his stride in Big Ten play, starting February off with a three-game stretch in which he averaged 10 points per game and logged a career-high 12 points against Michigan on Feb. 12.
"Jared Jones is a big addition to our program," McDevitt commented. "He has a combination of size, skill, versatility and strength that will allow him to be a difference maker for us, and his maturity and leadership skills will serve him and our team very well as we continue to move forward."
Before moving north to NU's campus in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Jones was a Top 10 prospect in the state of Georgia where he led Atlanta's McEachern High School to a perfect 32-0 season and the Georgia Class 7A State title as a senior in 2019.
The Indians finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation by PrepNation and No. 2 nationally by MaxPreps.
"Jared has a very bright basketball future in front of him and our Blue Raider fans will enjoy watching him play," McDevitt added.
Jones joins a signing class that includes Mississippi State transfer Elias King, Charleston Southern transfer Dontrell Shuler and Georgia prep standout Christian Fussell, and gives the Blue Raiders seven Atlanta-area products on the 2020-21 roster.
