Dormady wants some too.

This is purely jmo, but I think QD is the least talented of the 3

Colorado football coach Mike MacIntyre announced Friday that he has released quarterback Sheriron Jones from his scholarship so that the freshman can return to Tennessee.

Jones announced earlier this month that he was leaving the Vols after just one season to transfer to Colorado. But an NCAA rule allows a student-athlete to return to the school he transferred from if he decides to do so within a 14-day window.

“My job is to work with the whole person,” MacIntyre said in a press release announcing Jones' departure. “Each player is unique and comes with unique needs and concerns. Throughout the past couple of weeks, Sheriron and I have spent a lot of time trying to sort out his circumstances. We have concluded that it is in his best interests for him to return to Tennessee.”

With Jones' return, Tennessee once again will have three scholarship quarterbacks on its roster, including junior Joshua Dobbs and freshman Quinten Dormady.

Boston College bound. 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol at hating on the guy who hasn't quit on his team.

 

[OddFuture]

That is very interesting and I have never heard of this happening before. It must be the buyer's remorse law of football. I'll allow it.

Indeed. Colorado is in a similar position at QB, pretty shifty looking senior QB who needs to work on passing but both are dynamic and for sure starters, then an open competition after this coming season. I'm guessing he'd rather compete for that at UT rather than the 10 losses every year Buffaloes

Nah.

They looked close in size on the sideline.

Both Callahan and Walmart Skip Bayless have now tweeted that S. Jones is returning. Great news if it turns out to be true.

Wes Rucker @wesrucker247
Former #Vols QB Sheriron Jones transferring back from Colorado to Tennessee. More in a minute.


Ryan Callahan @RyanCallahan247
Former #Vols QB Sheriron Jones (@gullyboyjonezy) returning to UT: (FREE)

Wes Rucker @wesrucker247
Former #Vols QB Sheriron Jones coming back to Tennessee: QB Jones returning to Tennessee

That would be Clay Travis.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Never heard of the 2-week rule. Wonder what happened in that 2-week span for him to turn around and come back here.

Probably got off the plane & said dayum, it's cold here! Got back on plane.

Doesn't matter, happy to have him back!

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

You do know Jones is good right. He's very good and should win the backup QB spot in the spring.

Yes I know he is. I also agree he will be #2 this year.

Dobbs thighs tho 😂😂😂😂

Jones got his transfer out of the way early. 😂😂😂😂

 

[AV_12]

So yall think he beats out JG after this year.

JG is talented. Nobody is guaranteed anything when there will be three good options

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I also know he was beloved by his teammates. I don't think there will be anything with trust or anything of the sort.

 

[buffaloblue]

Best case scenario for Vols is Dormady, Jones, and JG competing and finding out who is best.

 

[highspeed]

That would be Clay Travis.

You're right. Dang! I was really excited about getting that in there too.

 

[AV_12]

Yup. They were all wanting him to succeed out there

 

[The Breakerboy]

I don't think this offense can operate at full throttle without a QB who can be a real threat with his legs. And don't give me the Cincy numbers. I'm talking about in the SEC.

People helping people.

Jones coming back basically guarantees that JG will get to redshirt this upcoming season.

Which is great

 

[chavisut]

JG hasn't stepped foot on campus. I'm a JG fan but putting all your eggs in one basket is crazy.

He has one thing in common with Jones. He's never seen a college snap.

I have no idea who will be the QB post Dobbs, but a legitimate three way battle would not surprise me.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Pretty cool to hear that Sheriron is back in the fold. Wasn't expecting that at all. We are stacked to the gills at QB again.

Love it

 

[Nashvegas31]

Jones coming back basically guarantees that JG will get to redshirt this upcoming season.

He was going to anyway. I wonder if this is more Sherion realizing your supposed to finish a full yr before transferring to avoid a lengthy transfer sit period. Isn't it 2 yrs if you don't finish you freshman yr? It wouldn't suprise me to see him transfer after spring of he still feels it's a hard battle to win

It just adds another buffer between JG and having to take the field before he's ready. Dobbs was supposed to redshirt in 2013 but 3 QBs in front of him got hurt.

Chris Daniels is visiting. Khalil just set turn him up on twitter

Even at UC his QBs could usually move. Legaux was a dual-threat guy when healthy. Collaros would run... Wasn't very good at it, but the threat was there. Only Pike was a statue, but he made up for it by having an NFL arm before he blew out his elbow.
