In a wild turn of events, Florida Gators redshirt senior quarterback Emory Jones will enter the transfer portal after all, Pete Thamel of ESPN reported on Friday.

Thamel originally reported in December 2021 that Jones planned to enter the portal following Florida's most recent campaign. However, that original report did not come to fruition as Jones did not enter the portal at that time and remained with the team through the first two days of spring practice.

Jones credited head coach Billy Napier and his staff with convincing the Gators' 2021 starting quarterback to stay.
