Emory Jones

Jones will attempt to fill the big shoes left by Kyle Trask and lead the Gators as their new starting quarterback in 2021. Jones is a dual-threat quarterback who will look to impact the game just as much with his legs as with his arm. Jones has only played sporadically over the past three seasons, though he averaged over six yards per rush during the past two campaigns, and found the end zone six times on the ground in just 74 rushes over that span. Jones will be working with almost all new pass catchers, as Kyle Pitts, Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes left for the NFL. Jacob Copeland is the leading returning receiver and had just 23 grabs a season ago. It may take Jones some time to acclimate himself to starting in the SEC and developing a rapport with his receivers, but he should be dynamic.
