Former North Texas guard Rubin Jones transferring to Michigan

Michigan Basketball added its first transfer portal addition Friday with North Texas guard Rubin Jones committing to the Wolverines.

Jones, a grad transfer, was on campus visiting Thursday.

Jones is the winningest player in North Texas program history. The former captain notched his 87th win against Tulsa in February.

As a freshman, Jones helped lead North Texas to its first conference tournament win and first NCAA tournament appearance. He was 2021 Conference USA All-Freshman Team that season as well.

North Texas won a program-record 25 games in his second season and earned its first NIT appearance. Not to be outdone, in his junior year, Jones led North Texas to a record 31 wins and its first NIT Championship. Jones was voted team captain for his senior season.

Last season Jones scored 12.1 PPG with a 40/42/78 slash line. Jones is a strong defender as well, named to the 2023 Conference USA All-Defensive team.

Jones will join the program as a graduate transfer.
