Athletic success in Marvin Jones DNA. Jones’ father, Marvin Jones Sr., was a star linebacker for Florida State in the 1990s. His mother, Alex Jones, ran track at Miami and his brother, Daryl, is a cornerback at West Virginia. Even his uncle, Fred Jones, played linebacker at Florida State from 1983-1986. Jones wants to major in graphic design in college, after getting an interest in design from his mother. His mother teaches the international baccalaureate program at a local high school. She also oversees the yearbook and has a background in social media, marketing and web design. Jones says his hobbies are fishing, basketball and video games.
