Let's Go Places on the Recruiting Trail: Emory Jones, Florida QB

Dual-threat quarterback Emory Jones enrolled early at Florida after starring in Franklin, Georgia.

At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Emory Jones brought dual-threat ability to the Florida Gators as an early enrollee in 2018. He could operate from the pocket and create plays with his legs—versatility that fit modern spread offenses.

Jones considered himself a pocket passer first, ready to make something happen when plays broke down. His dedication to the weight room and leadership qualities impressed Florida's staff, who saw him as a future contributor in a talented quarterback room.
