'15 CA QB Sheriron Jones (UT Signee 2/4/15)

I didn't realize it until I just rewatched his film, but Jones is a very similar player to Dobbs.

But very accurate down field passer.

Except Jones is a way better passer. He has one of the nicest throws in this QB class.

I visited Tennessee over the summer too and really liked it there. They were my No. 2 choice so you could say they're in a really good place with me so we'll just see what happens."

Jones was the most consistent quarterback of the week. He threw a nice, tight ball, showed touch on the deep ball and his mobility was a big strength. He'll be able to do some zone read and is a strong running threat but is just as comfortable throwing in the pocket.

Adam Gorney:

I talked to Sheriron Jones at Semper Fi media day today and the feeling I got is that Tennessee is way out in front in his recruitment.

He's considering a host of visits in January but the Vols look very good for him. Said he hasn't heard one word from the new Florida staff so the Gators are significantly trailing.

Maybe due to dead period until Jan 15th.

They get pne phone call

 

[BigOrangeD]

They get one phone call

OK. Thanks. Would seem Gators are looking elsewhere then.

I really want this guy.

After Pat Allen, I think Jones is the most important recruit left that we have to sign. It's not that I feel Dormady or Jennings will not pan out. Quite the opposite. I think both are great additions. I'm of the mindset (in college and pro) that in order to be an elite team you have to have an elite QB. Adding another QB to the class only increases the odds of at least one of them being elite. Let the competition begin...

Totally agree, plus it motivates players to get better. How much better would Tyler Bray have been if he knew there was a backup just as naturally talented as he was breathing down his neck trying to get the starting spot. How much harder does the quality back up work when they know they are just a little bit of improvement away from taking the starting spot. It pushes both to get much better.

I really think our lack of depth has hurt us as much this way as much as the traditional ways (not having a quality replacement when starters are injured/out and starters not being able to get a breather because coaches can't count on a subpar backup) since the last fulmer years.

Bray probably would have transferred rather than work harder.

This would be a huge pickup for all the QB's on roster if it happens. We need top flight guys pushing each other to the top.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Doesn't he announce tonight

 

[volnpowell]

It is nice to have Qbs that can run when play breaks down. :dance2:

 

[NapTownVol9]

So what's the latest measurements? Is he really 6'2", or are they giving him a little love, and is he still right under 200 lbs?

Would love to add this kid and get him EEd, true DT QB threat, great arm, if Jennings ends up at Safety like some would think.

Doesn't he announce tonight

No

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

No

When does he announce? Not sure how I got it mixed up

 

[engineerVOL]

Many believe it will be during his OV on the 16th.

 

[JohnMcA60]

Word is within the next few weeks. We are heavy favorites here so I'm not too concerned when he announces. Maybe you were thinking about Pat Allen but he isn't announcing either.

 

[VolDango]

Started the game 0-2 passing with a near INT. Hopefully that was just nerves and rust.

Thanks for pointing out his upside. I'd be willing to audit your home life and find much worse.

Can't really put much too much into these games.

 

[VolDango]

3-10 for about 15 yards, with nearly a 2nd pick. 1 run for about 3 yards. Arm looks good but struggling with accuracy to say the least.

 

[VolDango]

Can't really put much too much into these games.

Agreed. No real flow or connection with receivers.

His arm looks live. Release kind of reminds me of Chris Leak a little.

May just be the nerves, but he isn't looking the part so far..
