Former IU linebacker Cam Jones is the 19th Hoosier to win a Super Bowl title after Kansas City defeated San Francisco 25-22 on Sunday evening. Former IU players have now won a total of 21 Super Bowl rings.
An undrafted free agent after an All-Big Ten career with Indiana, Jones helped the Chiefs reach Super Bowl LVII. Overall, he was the 29th Hoosier alumnus to reach the Super Bowl.
Jones played in all 17 regular season games as a rookie in 2023 and was a staple on special teams. His first career tackle came in Week 2 at Jacksonville, and he made 13 total stops on the season.
He saw his most extended action in the Chiefs regular season finale in Los Angeles versus the Chargers with 10 tackles – nine solo – in the 13-12 win that clinched the No. 3 seed in the AFC.
Jones had one solo stop in Kansas City’s Wild Card victory over Miami but suffered an injury in the game and missed the Super Bowl.

In all, 29 Hoosiers have made 37 Super Bowl appearance. Of the 58 Super Bowls, 30 have featured an Indiana Hoosier. That total includes 13 of the last 15 games with an IU alum on a Super Bowl roster (practice squad or active).
Below is a list of Indiana’s Super Bowl history, which began with All-Pro offensive lineman Bob Skoronski as a part of Vince Lombardi’s Super Bowl I and II championship teams.
Most recently, Tegray Scales was a part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals practice squads in Super Bowl years and Nate Sudfeld won Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skoronski and Scales are two of seven Hoosiers with multiple Super Bowl appearances. Skoronski and fellow offensive lineman Doug Crusan are the only two-time world champions, as Crusan won back-to-back titles with the Miami Dolphins, which included the undefeated 1972 season.
