Tramell Jones, the highly sought-after quarterback from Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin, has flipped his commitment from Florida State to the University of Florida. Jones had been verbally committed to FSU since the spring of 2023 but made the decision to switch his allegiance after taking an official visit to Gainesville over the weekend. The visit provided the 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal caller with the opportunity to build a closer relationship with Billy Napier’s coaching staff and experience the Gators’ program firsthand.
This commitment marks a significant win for Florida, as they were in need of a high-caliber quarterback to bolster their 2024 recruiting class. Jones is regarded as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, known for his strong arm, mobility, and playmaking ability. He has displayed impressive consistency in both passing and rushing for Mandarin High, making him a dynamic and versatile quarterback who can excel in a variety of offensive schemes.
Jones’ flip to Florida is also a major blow to Florida State, as the Seminoles had worked hard to secure his commitment for nearly a year. While Jones had originally chosen FSU due to its strong football program and family connections, his decision to ultimately commit to the Gators signals his confidence in Napier’s vision for the future of Florida football.
For the Gators, this flip strengthens their 2024 class, adding a key piece to their offensive future. As Jones prepares to make his college decision official, Gators fans are eager to see how his development will unfold under Napier’s guidance, especially with the prospect of competing in the SEC’s high-level competition.
