The Wiley College men's basketball team is proud to announce the signing of junior transfer Antonio Jones (JR/Birmingham, Alabama) from Birmingham, Ala.

Jones played the last two seasons at Wallace Selma Community College (Ala.). Last season, he averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He helped Wallace Selma improve from two wins to 28. During his freshman season in 2018, he played in 29 games –starting 24 – posting 12.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Jones played high school basketball at Jackson Olin in Birmingham.

"Antonio is a silky-smooth player which can do a bit of everything," said head coach Derrick Mitchell, who is entering his first season at Wiley College. "He can score off the bounce, shoot the 3, or drop a dime. Anything needed on the court, Antonio Jones is capable of doing at a high level. If he plays up to his potential, the sky is the limit."

The Wildcats are coming off a 13-13 season which ended with their 15th consecutive Red River Athletic Conference Tournament berth and their third semifinals appearance in the last four seasons.
