Emory Jones (QB Florida, transfer to Arizona St., transfer to Cincinnati)

DON'T FREAK OUT

According to SEC Country's Chris Kirschner, Ohio State four-star quarterback commit Emory Jones is expected to attend Alabama's matchup with Ole Miss this Saturday. It's anicipated he'll be one of 16 committed prospects on the sidelines prior to the game.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Jones has long eyed an official visit to Tuscaloosa, but Kirschner reports this trip will be in an unofficial capacity. That means Jones will most likely return again later this fall, probably for the Nov. 4 game against LSU.

While some recruiting analysts will paint this visit as bad news for the Buckeyes, Jones and those close to him continue to say he's just going through the process in order to make sure Columbus is the right place for him. Such has been the case since rumors of a potential flip to the Crimson Tide first popped up this spring.

Heck, Jones was asked about his pledge just last week and shot down that narrative rather quickly.

“I am sick of [having to talk about Ohio State],” he said. “I’m committed. I’m still committed. That’s just it.”

Point blank: the Buckeyes aren't recruiting any other quarterbacks, a sign that the staff feels both confident and comfortable with Jones' desire to see other schools.

Doesn't matter what he does... once Tate takes over he will be here 4 years

I could foresee a QB transferring in the future. Meyer recruits ultra-competitive players and whomever loses out on the starting job next season between Burrow, Haskins, and Martell could leave. That leaves the QB room very short on bodies then especially when they are expected to take hits during run calls. We were very fortunate to have Cardale waiting in the wings in 2014. The staff will take a QB in this class. Jones is a run threat and has a strong arm. He is ideal for this offense.

Just remember, you can never predict injuries.

Yeah, Martell could leave......as a red shirt freshman which would just be bizarre.
