Tre'avis Jones, former Big Bend Offensive Player of the Year, transferring to FAMU football

Tre’avis Jones is coming home.

On Monday, the former Lawton-Chiles High School star running back announced his commitment to join the Florida A&M football program on X/Twitter.

Jones will transfer from Coffeyville Community College in Kansas, where he spent his first two years of college. Coffeyville has been good to the Rattlers in the past, being the same school where former FAMU All-American and current Dallas Cowboy safety Markquese Bell came from.

In 2024, Jones rushed 101 times for 511 yards and four touchdowns for the Red Ravens in eight appearances. He helped the Red Ravens win the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference title and was an all-conference second-teamer.

Jones is a name familiar to Tallahassee, being the 2022 All-Big Bend Offensive Player of the Year as a senior.

In his final season at Chiles, Jones had 179 carries for 1,497 yards and 17 touchdowns in eight games with the Timberwolves. Five of those games saw him eclipse 200 rushing yards. Jones didn’t score in just one contest.

Jones had scholarship offers from various NCAA Division I college football programs across the program at the time of his 2023 graduation from Chiles. However, he opted to go to junior college for two years.

Jones, at 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds, adds a speedy, shifty option to FAMU’s backfield. The Chiles alumnus will join FAMU’s running backs, headlined by last season’s leading rusher, Thad Franklin Jr., and his running mate, Bo Summersett.

Jones’ Chiles and Coffeyville teammate Trenterius Lovett, an offensive lineman, has also committed to FAMU.

The Rattlers wrapped up spring football camp on Monday.

Aug. 30 marks the FAMU’s season opener when it travels to Miami Garden’s Hard Rock Stadium to face the Howard Bison in the Orange Blossom Classic.

Jones will play his first football game in Tallahassee for the first time in three years on Sept. 13 when the Rattlers host the Albany State Golden Rams on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.
