LONGVIEW, Texas -- For a second straight year,
Dane Jones is a consensus All-American.
The LeTourneau baseball graduate outfielder/DH was named to the ABCA All-America first team and the D3baseball.com All-America second team, as announced by the organizations this week.
Jones becomes a four-time All-American after earning a pair of accolades last season. He is the first player to garner first team All-America honors in the program's NCAA history.
A graduate student from Keller, Texas, Jones was named the ASC Player of the Year and first team All-ASC after another breakout season in 2025. Jones hit .408 with a program-record 21 home runs with 60 RBIs, 54 runs scored, nine doubles, an .882 slugging percentage, and a 1.398 OPS in 40 games played. His homers and RBIs set program season records.
"Dane has been such a joy to work with these past three years," said LeTourneau head coach
Paul Phillips. "Every day you expected him to wow you in some fashion -- whether it was a backside laser off the fence or a home run over the lights. He's obviously accomplished a lot and set the bar for what it means to be a LeTourneau baseball player on the field, but more than that, I am so proud of the way he's grown and matured as a man off the field. He was a great teammate as he consistently went out of his way to help younger guys feel welcome and coach them up in and out of practice."
In his fifth year with the YellowJackets, Jones came into the season already holding the program's career home run record and finished with 62 homers -- setting an ASC record. Jones broke LeTourneau's career record for hits with 243 and also set records for career runs scored (180), RBIs (198), doubles (47), and slugging percentage (.713) during the year. Jones' career RBI total is also an ASC all-time record.
In ASC games alone in 2025, Jones hit .446 with 13 home runs and 34 RBIs in just 16 games played. Jones hit seven home runs in a four-game series at Hardin-Simmons that landed him ASC, D3baseball.com, and NCBWA weekly honors. Jones had 18 multi-hit games -- with a program-record 22-game hitting streak -- and 16 multi-RBI games.
Jones currently ranks in the top 10 nationally in homers (second) and slugging percentage (third).
Jones added ASC All-Tournament honors as he hit three home runs and drove in six during LeTourneau's run to the championship round.
His 75 career multi-hit games is a program record for the NCAA era and Jones' 51 career multi-RBI games also established a new program record. Jones' career total bases of 486 is over 200 more than the next closest player in the program's NCAA era. Jones had 43 career stolen bases, tied for third in the NCAA era, and his 99 career walks ranks second since 1999.
"I can't wait to see how God continues to work in and through him after college," added Phillips. "We're forever grateful to have had Dane here and proud of the legacy he's cemented as an outstanding player and person in the LeTourneau Baseball Family."
LeTourneau ended the year 23-20 overall and was the co-regular season champion of the ASC.
