Terry Jones was a two-year defensive star at tackle for the Bronchos in 1978 and ‘79, helping guide UCO to an 11-2 record and an NAIA national runner-up finish as a senior.

He made 89 tackles as a junior and was an All-District 9 selection, earning NAIA National Defensive Player of the Week honors following a dominating 18-tackle performance in a 6-3 win over Texas A&M-Commerce. Terry came back as a senior and finished with 113 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a blocked kick in leading a defense that posted four shutouts and allowed less than 10 points a game.

Jones was a first-team All-District 9 pick and an NAIA All-American following his senior campaign and then was selected in the 11th round of the NFL draft by Tampa Bay in 1980.  He was named to the UCO All-Century Team in 2005.

Terry came back to coach the defensive line for several years at UCO, helping the team to the NAIA national championship in 1982.
