Mandarin (Jacksonville, Fla.) four-star senior quarterback Tramell Jones has committed to the University of Florida, following his official visit to Gainesville. Jones was at The Swamp for Saturday’s Gators’ 27-16 win over LSU.
Jones was previously a Florida State commit since April of 2023 where he becomes the 14th commit and the first quarterback in Billy Napier’s 2025 recruiting cycle.
According to the 247Sports’ Composite Rankings, Jones is the No. 238 ranked player in the nation, the No. 21 ranked quarterback, and the No. 36 overall player in Florida for the upcoming recruitment cycle.
According to MaxPreps, Jones played just two games for the Mustangs, completing 19-of-21 passes for 439 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. He missed most of his senior season due to an injury he sustained back in August.
As a junior, Jones completed 60.6% of his passes, threw for 3195 yards, 33 touchdowns, and seven interceptions helping lead the Mustangs to the state championship game.
Jones is the second highest-rated prospect to commit to the Gators for the upcoming cycle, trailing four-star wide receiver Vernell Brown III.
Here’s 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins on Jones: Experienced signal caller with cleaner mechanics that has improved in every key statistical category since earning the starting nod as a freshman on varsity. More of a one-read passer at this stage that will feed his playmakers and throw them open. Gets the ball out quick with a compact, repeatable motion and tends to utilize more touch than he does velocity. Will keep his eyes down field and hunt for the big play. Feet can get a little happy, especially when the interior rush starts building. Has to get better at protecting the football (lost 11 fumbles the past two years) and cut down on the high-risk throws as the margins for error will be much smaller on Saturdays. Should be viewed as a potential starter at the Power Four level that can move the chains with accuracy and anticipation. Mid-sized frame isn’t ideal, but has impressed with his IQ and work ethic in various settings.
