When talking about his future at Florida, Jones said he wanted to give the new coaching staff a chance.
“I was really close (to transferring), but I mean, coach Napier and coach (Ryan) O’Hara sat me down, a lot of the offensive guys sat me down and basically said they went through my film and said they’re really excited about things that I have done,” Jones said, via Gators Wire. “They think they can make me a way better player than I have shown. Basically, I just wanted to give them a chance.
In 11 starts for the Gators this past season, Jones completed 67.7 percent of his passes for 2,563 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also had 697 yards and four scores on 133 carries.
It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Jones.
