Jones, 17, will complete year 12 while working through his debut season at Whitten Oval.
He is wanted by his school, Scotch College, while the Bulldogs would like to see him run out for Williamstown, the club's VFL affiliate side.
"We went to discuss that last week," he told westernbulldogs.com.au.
"The school said they were happy for me to play at Williamstown when we're playing a side that we think we can beat, but for the better teams, they're pretty interested in me playing.
"It all depends on how I'm progressing next year I guess."
The Tasmanian has boarded at Scotch for the past 12 months after winning a scholarship for his first year of VCE.
"The scholarship came about through my uncle and Chris Naish [Scotch College Director of Coaching], who affiliates with the football program at Scotch and works with my uncle.
"My uncle just said I was a young Indigenous boy willing to take up a chance, and put my name forward.
"They flew me over there and were happy with what they saw, so it went from there."
Football has always been a part of Jones' family. His father Bob played 20 games for St Kilda in the late 1980s.
A tall forward, Jones has seen his career take off in the past two years.
"It's been really big. I wasn't really in the system until last year when I turned 16, and since then I've made the Tassie Under-16s, the AIS, went to South Africa and then I got the scholarship to Scotch.
"Now I've been drafted. It's all happened pretty quick."
Jones was raised by his mother, Janine, in Tasmania, and communicates "every now and again" with Bob, who lives in Darwin.
He said his mum has "helped me so much" with life in general, while his father's football knowledge has been handy.
"He's so smart when it comes to football, and he just knows the workrate that's required," Jones said.
"He was very excited when I got drafted but I think he was more shocked. He was speechless for a little while."
Jones said his initiation into the Bulldogs has been "pretty tough but pretty good". Along with fellow recent draftee Jordan Roughead, Jones kept the coaching staff busy two weeks ago when nearly the entire list was in Arizona.
"It's been really good to meet all the boys because in the first week, it was just me and Jordan so they worked us pretty hard, trying to catch us up a bit," he said.
"It was funny coming to the club without any players, but it was good because it meant we got to meet the coaches and we settled in a bit easier with out the players around.
"But I'm really enjoying it – it's great being here."
