Early life and education

Good-Jones was born on March 2, 1997, in

offensive line prospects in Iowa after being named first-team all-state as a senior.[2] He was named the co-offensive most valuable player of the district and helped his team average over 40 points and 280 yards rushing each game.[2] Good-Jones was a three-star recruit and elected to play college football at Iowa State over offers from several other schools.[2][3]

Good-Jones spent his first season at Iowa State, 2015, as a

right tackle and helped the team average 421.6 yards of offense per game, while being named first-team academic all-conference.[2][4] In 2017, he moved to center and started all 13 games, being named honorable mention all-conference.[2][5]

Good-Jones made another position change in 2018, starting all but one of his 13 games at

left tackle, and the other at center.[2] He was selected honorable mention All-Big 12.[2] As a senior, he started 12 games at left tackle and was named first-team all-conference.[2] He missed his team's bowl game against Notre Dame, putting an end to his 49-game consecutive start streak which lasted from the second game of his freshman season to the second-to-last game of his senior year.[6] His streak was the longest in school history and one of the longest in FBS history.[4][6]
