Former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florida</a> quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/emory-jones-141170/">Emory Jones</a> has chosen his next school. GatorsOnline’s Nick De La Torre <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/news/emory-jones-plans-to-enter-transfer-portal/">first reported</a> that Jones would be entering the <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/the-2021-22-college-football-transfer-portal-tracker/">NCAA Transfer Portal</a> following the Gasparilla Bowl against UCF. 



Jones, a former On3 Consensus four-star quarterback, has decided to transfer to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arizona-state-sun-devils/">Arizona State</a> and will be immediately eligible, <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1522312011035643904">per ESPN’s Pete Thamel</a>. The former Gators starter will have two years of eligibility remaining.

While Jones saw the majority of the snaps at quarterback for Florida this season, backup Anthony Richardson sparked the offense at times in relief of Jones. Richardson completed 38 of his 64 passes for 529 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions. He also had 51 rushes for 491 yards and three touchdowns.

This season was the fourth in Florida’s program to Jones, but it was his first year as the Gators’ starting quarterback. Entering the season, Jones had attempted 86 passes, although he did have a small role in the running game. But this season was his first as Florida’s full-blown starting quarterback. 



Jones showed great flashes at times this year, but in the end he struggled too much with inconsistency. He completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,563 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in the regular season. Jones also added 133 rushing attempts for 697 yards and four touchdowns. But his 13 interceptions were the most among all quarterbacks in the SEC.



In his collegiate career, Jones has thrown for 3,176 yards, 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions with 1,211 rushing yards and ten scores on the ground.



Jones was a four-star recruit out of high school from the Class of 2018 and was the No. 11 quarterback from that class, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/football/2018/?position=qb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">On3 Consensus</a>, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.



Jones held offers from <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/alabama-crimson-tide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alabama</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Georgia</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ohio-state-buckeyes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ohio State</a>, among others, out of high school.
