Right now, I mean, Tennessee is a place for me. I could see myself going there and everything. Ive just got to see whats up next.
The 6-foot-2.5, 192-pound Jones *whos scheduled to visit Florida on Saturday and Sunday *said he particularly enjoyed meeting Tennessee coach*Butch Jones*and his staff and spending time with some of the Vols players, including sophomore quarterback*Joshua Dobbs.
The players, they were real down-to-earth. I got to sit down and talk to them a little bit about how they feel and everything, and how they like it there, so I liked that,Sheriron Jones*said.
Basically, right now is a good time to be coming to Tennessee because theyve got all the tools. They just need somebody to hammer the nail in, because theyve got all the nails. Theyve built everything, so all they need is a quarterback.
Sheriron Jones said Butch Jones and offensive coordinator*Mike Bajakian*both made it clear to him that hes a high priority for the Vols.
(Butch Jones is) just fired up about everything, Sheriron Jones said. He just let me know that he really wanted me and everything, and he wants to get the ball rolling.
He said he also bumped into former Super Bowl champion coach*Jon Gruden, who was on campus to prepare for Tennessees quarterback camp Saturday. Gruden, whos now an analyst for ESPNs Monday Night Football, is expected to serve as a guest speaker and instructor at the camp.
That was pretty cool, Jones said. He knows the game of football and everything, so just to bump into him and just say hello, it was pretty cool.
Jones said he heard plenty during the visit about Tennessees favorable depth chart at quarterback.
We talked quite a bit about that, he said. I dont think nowhere in the country theres anything like that, where theres basically two years (between) quarterbacks. Its a pretty good situation. (That matters) somewhat, but Im not really worried about that. I mean, I know either way it goes, Im going to have to compete to start, anyway. But I was like, OK, I have a good chance to go there and start and stuff like that.
Jones said hes not really sure yet where Tennessee stands among the teams hes considering heading into his visit to Florida this weekend, and he doesnt know when he might be ready to decide on a college.
Im just waiting to see how things go, he said. Im trying to take everything as slow as possible to make sure I make the right decision.
