Jones redshirted this fall for the Volunteers as a freshman and he will be transferring to Colorado and enrolling for the spring semester. He will have to sit out the 2016 season due to NCAA rules but he’ll have three years of eligibility remaining after that.

Jones visited CU when he was high school and was ranked as a four-star prospect by every major scouting service. Among the schools that offered him a scholarship were Arizona, Arizona State, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas Tech and Nebraska.

Sheriron Jones visited Boulder in Feb. of 2014, early during recruitment. Said back then: "It was amazing.. I mean everything was perfect."

The California prep star is a major addition to the Colorado quarterbacking position. He brings much-needed depth to the position in 2017 with Sefo Liufau and Jordan Gehrke expected to graduate.
