Sheriron Jones to Tennessee: Volunteers Land 4-Star QB Prospect

In need of help at the quarterback position, the Tennessee Volunteers have landed 4-star recruit Sheriron Jones for their 2015 class. 

According to Ryan Bartow of 247Sports.com, Jones made his decision to attend the University of Tennessee on Thursday:

Jones is the seventh-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the country and 191st-ranked prospect overall, according to 247Sports.com. Tennessee beat out Florida, Arizona and LSU to secure its third high-profile quarterback for 2015. 

A California native, Jones had originally committed to Florida but became one of many future Gators to re-open his recruiting in December after Will Muschamp was fired, per Chris Hays of The Orlando Sentinel. 

Volunteers head coach Butch Jones is having a banner recruiting season so far. They currently own the No. 3 class in the country, per 247Sports, with 28 total commits, including two 5-stars and 11 4-stars. 

Steve Wiltfong wrote on 247Sports.com that the addition of Jones to an already-strong class will likely give Tennessee the best collection of talent at the quarterback position in the country this recruiting season:

"

Tennessee may have the nation's top quarterback class, as Jones joins Top100 dual-threat passer Jauan Jennings and Top247 pro-style quarterback Quinten Dormady, who both enrolled early. 247Sports ranks Jennings as the country's No. 5 player at his position and No. 89 prospect overall. Dormady checks in at No. 6 and No. 190. Jones is the country's No. 144 prospect overall.

"

Jones will have stiff competition to become a starting quarterback at Tennessee, as Jauan Jennings and Quinten Dormady have already enrolled at the school in preparation for the 2015 season. 

Tennessee's offense was a problem for most of the 2014 season, thanks to a combination of erratic quarterback play and a bad offensive line. Joshua Dobbs helped stabilize the situation late in the year because of his ability to run the ball. 

Jones has to upgrade his offensive line for the Volunteers to get back in the national conversation, but he's got this program heading in the right direction with what's shaping up to be a stellar recruiting class and more depth at quarterback than a coach can handle.
