Emory Jones chooses Florida after dropping Ohio State commitment

ESPN 300 quarterback Emory Jones announced his decision to sign with Florida on Wednesday after he had held a commitment to Ohio State since July 2016.

The commitment of the No. 20-ranked prospect gives new Gators coach Dan Mullen a feather in his cap recruiting against Urban Meyer, whom Mullen worked under at Utah and Florida. Mullen lost a commitment from ESPN 300 quarterback Matt Corral, who flipped to Ole Miss, and was able to convince Jones to take a visit to Gainesville before the early signing period.
