Early life and college Caleb Jones was born on February 10, 1999, in Indianapolis, Indiana to Darice Maxie and James Jones. Jones attended Lawrence North High School, where he played football, track-and-field, and basketball.

After his successful tenure in high school, Jones was named an Associated Press all-state offensive lineman for the state of Indiana. Jones was rated as the twelfth-best player in the state of Indiana going into college and chose to attend Indiana University. Jones redshirted his freshman year and never played a down for Indiana. In his sophomore year, Jones started his first game against FIU and played in eleven games that year. Jones then started the most games in a season he ever would for Indiana, starting twelve games at right tackle and one game at left tackle. With the help of Jones' blocking, Indiana set a school record for the most passing yards in a season. The next year, due to a shortened season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jones only started five games for Indiana. In Jones' senior and final year, he started all twelve games for Indiana at right tackle.
