According to a handout produced by College Football Officiating, LLC, if officials see the following things, the risk of a targeting foul is high:
• Launching toward an opponent to make contact in the head or neck area. He Did that.
• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust with contact at the head or neck area.
• Leading with the helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow into the head or neck area. He did that. Replay shows it.
• Lowering the head before attacking and initiating with the crown of the helmet.
He certainly did that. Just in case you don't know, the crown is the top of the helmet.

The only contact above the returner's shoulders was after the recoil and completely incidental. Jones didn't leave his feet until after contact.

Jones did lower his head but made impact with his shoulder.
I'd certainly have understood if they had thrown the flag live but he shouldn't have been ejected. Alahunter may have posted it but the angle shown at the end of the 3rd quarter gives the best view of the hit.
