After a very brief stay in Knoxville, a member of Tennessee’s 2015 recruiting class has decided to head west to continue his collegiate playing career.
The high school coach of Sheriron Jones confirmed to 247Sports.com that his former player has decided to transfer out of the Vols football program. More specifically, the coach stated that the quarterback will be moving on to Colorado and playing his football for the Mike MacIntyre‘s Buffaloes.
If Jones does indeed move on to CU, he would be forced to sit out the 2016 season, but then would have three more years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2017.
While Jones didn’t confirm the move, he did offer up a gracias to his fans of the last few months.
Jones was a four-star member of UT’s recruiting class a year ago, rated as the No. 10 dual-threat quarterback in the country and the No. 40 player at any position in the state of California. He was one of two quarterbacks signed in that class, joined by fellow four-star signee Jauan Jennings.
Jones took a redshirt his true freshman season.
