Co Founder, the Ohio State legend and national championship winning quarterback Cardale Jones speaking on the company and brand he helped build.
Cardale Jones was born on September 29, 1992, in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended Ginn Academy and played football at Glenville High School, leading them to the OHSAA D-I Championship game in 2009. A three-star recruit, he committed to Ohio State University in October 2011. After being redshirted in 2012, Jones played sparingly in 2013 before a breakthrough season in 2014. He became the starting quarterback due to injuries to others and led the Ohio State Buckeyes to a 59-0 victory in the Big Ten Championship Game. He then guided the team to a 42-35 win over Alabama in the Allstate Sugar Bowl and a 42-20 victory against the Oregon Ducks in the College Football Playoff National Championship, earning him significant recognition.
Jones continued his college career, starting the first seven games of the 2015 season for Ohio State. Despite earlier considering entering the NFL draft, he decided to stay and earned a bachelor’s degree in African-American Studies from Ohio State in May 2017. In 2016, Jones was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round of the NFL draft, 139th overall, after starting only 11 college games. He later played for the Los Angeles Chargers and Seattle Seahawks in the NFL, the DC Defenders in the XFL, the Edmonton Elks in the Canadian Football League (CFL), and the Massachusetts Pirates in the Indoor Football League (IFL).
Following his playing career, Jones has moved into diverse roles. In October 2025, he signed with the Columbus Aviators of the United Football League (UFL) as a community ambassador. He is also a co-founder of Ten Talents NIL, a sports marketing agency that provides media consulting, marketing, and legal services to student-athletes. Additionally, he is a co-founder of The Foundation, an organization focused on supporting Ohio student-athletes.
