Trending toward backup role Jones is trending toward opening the 2026 season as the No. 2 quarterback at Florida behind Aaron Philo, Thomas Goldkamp of On3.com reports.
Impact Jones is in a quarterback battle with Aaron Philo, but it seems the former will open the season as the backup. Philo is more familiar with the terminology the Gators will use on offense in 2026, and that could lead to Jones being the No. 2 to open the campaign. Jones appeared in two games for Florida in 2025, completing 60 percent of his throws for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

Competing for starting job Jones will compete against Aaron Philo for Florida's starting job during the spring, Zach Abolverdi of On3.com reports.
Impact By re-enrolling at Florida, Jones may be rewarded for his decision by becoming a primary quarterback for an SEC team. It is worth noting that his choice comes amid a coaching haul, which includes offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner from Georgia Tech. Philo followed the OC and presents Jones a legitimate challenge with his multiple years of experience.
