Biography

Brandon Jones joined the Tigers football program in April 2023, and serves as an assistant coach, working primarily with the offensive line. Jones, entering his 20th year of coaching, is a veteran of the coaching industry – spending time on the staffs of Sonny Dykes, Dana Holgorsen, Kliff Kingsbury and Lincoln Riley. He has coached in 13 bowl games and played in four more as an offensive lineman at Texas Tech from 2003-06. In just three years, Jones has coached three Tiger offensive linemen that have gone on to be selected in the NFL Draft, including first round pick Armand Membou in 2025. After being chosen seventh overall, Membou tied former Tiger Aldon Smith (2022) as the third-highest NFL Draft pick in Mizzou’s history. Membou, a second team All-SEC honoree, helped Mizzou to 27 wins and three consecutive bowl game appearances during his career. Jones also had a hand in the development of Keagen Trost, who earned All-America honors in his only season in Columbia in 2025. He has also overseen the growth of Cayden Green at left tackle, who returns for his senior season in 2026 along with a talent group of incoming transfers. He also tutored the likes of Javon Foster (2024) and Marcus Bryant (2025), who were selected in the fourth (114th overall) and seventh (220th overall) rounds by the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots, respectively. Foster was a three-year starter, third team All-America recipient and third team All-SEC honoree during his final season in 2023,
