After his coughing continued and he collapsed in his school hallway in February 2014, Jolly was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, causing him to miss the remainder of the season.

[3] Jolly initially committed to playing college basketball for California but attended Elev8 Sports Institute in Delray Beach, Florida for a postgraduate year because he did not meet the academic credit requirement. [4] He decommitted from California and instead chose to play for Baylor. [1] He was considered a four-star recruit. [4]
Jolly redshirted his first season at Baylor and received limited playing time as a redshirt freshman, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game and shooting 20.9 percent from the field. [5] [6] After the season, he transferred to Trinity Valley Community College. [7] On November 8, 2018, Jolly recorded a sophomore season-high 45 points and 15 rebounds in an 87–82 win over Missouri State–West Plains. [8] As a sophomore, he averaged 22.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and four assists per game, leading the nation in rebounding. [9] Jolly was a First Team National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I All-American and earned NJCAA Region XIV Player of the Year accolades. He was named MVP of the Region XIV Tournament. [10]
Jolly was considered the third-best junior college recruit and joined SMU for his junior season. [6] On January 18, 2020, he posted a season-high 25 points, including 22 in the second half, and 14 rebounds in a 68–52 victory over Temple. [11] As a junior, Jolly averaged 14.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, shooting a team-high 38 percent from three-point range. He earned Third Team All-American Athletic Conference (AAC) honors. [12] Prior to his senior season, Jolly stopped practicing with the team and did not join them for the first six weeks for personal reasons. He made his season debut on January 23, 2021. [13] As a senior, Jolly played eight games, averaging 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. After the season, he transferred to Iona. [14]
On November 25, 2021, Jolly scored 13 points in a 72–68 upset of tenth ranked-Alabama, the first ever win against an AP Top-10 by a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) opponent. [15] At the close of the 2021–22 season, Jolly was named the MAAC Player of the Year. [16]
