“tennessee is the right place for me, and i feel like this is where i need to be,” said jones.

“(the visit was a) confidence-booster because i came back out here to see coach (butch) jones and everybody, and everybody welcomed me, welcomed my family and everything. It’s a pretty good place to be.”

“tennessee actually cares about the players,” he said. “when they say it’s a family thing, it’s actually a family thing. Everyone gets along with one another. Everyone takes care of one another, and it’s all about the team. It’s not about individuals. I brought my parents — my mom and dad. They fell in love with it just like i did.”

“being here for 48 hours or whatever it was, it was just big for me. I got to sit down and do the things that i really needed to do in order to feel the place, and being committed, i feel relief now. If it was up to me, i would have signed this weekend. But you can’t do that, so i’ve got to wait ’til february. “

“just overall a tremendous weekend. (tennessee is) getting ready to switch over to nike. They were telling me about some of the stuff that should be happening and stuff like that, and i’m pretty excited for it.”

"The trip overall was pretty great," Jones said. "We got to see all the stuff I didn't get to see this summer. It was a little bit more detailed, but overall it was really good. I got to sit down with some of the coaches and with some of the players and we talked about some football stuff a little bit. It was amazing."

"We just talked about what they expected of me and what they wanted and what they were going to be doing," Jones said. "When I talked to some of the players they just told me they were happy I was coming."

"I had a long talk with (Dobbs)," Jones said. "He told me what they expected out of a Tennessee quarterback and things like who I needed to be around and who not to be around and how to stay focussed on the game."

"It's great because they are the ones that are playing and they are the ones in your position so it's a blessing because they know what you're going to go through on a day-to-day basis and they are just helping you and giving you a heads up," Jones explained. "They treated me like I was family and that was the best part. They took good care of me and I know it's the place to be."

"I'm not afraid of competition. I have no problem with that," Jones said. "I'm going to go out there and perform and the best performer is going to get the job. But, I'm not in a rush. I want to make sure I'm ready when I get up there so I can show everyone what I'm made of so I can go out there and give 110 percent."

Naw those are good kids that welcome competition. It's not like they are walking into a situation where we already had 5 scholarship QBs and added 3 more to make 8. They are walking in to a team with 1 returning scholarship QB assuming Peterman transfers. Even if Peterman stays he isn't a threat to anyone that has seen him play. So adding 3 QBs only gives us 4 or 5 scholarship QBs on the team which is the norm across the country. In this offense and this conference you have to have 3 guys ready for action every year. We have had to bring in our 4th string in Year 1 and 3rd string in Year 2.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder mentioned his visit that concluded Sunday included a different sort of sleeping arrangement, per his request.

“Everybody was laughing at me,” Jones said, “because we were going back to the hotel and I actually stayed and I wanted to sleep on the practice field inside the complex. So, everybody was laughing at me. It was pretty dope though. For reason, I love my fields that I play on and practice on.”
