Portland State Basketball Coach Jase Coburn has announced the signing of MJ Jones to a National Letter of Intent for the 2022-23 season.
 
Jones is a 6-2 guard from Pelham High School in Alabama. He was named the Shelby County Player of the Year and to the Alabama Class 6A All-State team. Jones averaged 24 points and three assists per game as a senior and scored over 2,000 points in his high school career. He was selected All-County and All-Area four times each.
 
"MJ is a multi-talented point guard. He can score by getting to the rim, pulling up on the drive and by knocking down three-pointers," Coburn said. "He is a great decision-maker with the ball and makes people around him better. The future is very bright for him at Portland State."
 
Jones is just the latest signing for the Viking program and eighth signing of this off-season. He joins a program that was 14-17 last year, 10-10 in the Big Sky. The Vikings won 10 of their last 14 games in the 2021-22 season, reaching the Big Sky Tournament semifinals.
