  The quarterback debate at Arizona State is over and it ended the way most thought it would. Florida transfer Emory Jones has been named the starter for the Sun Devils' Sept. 1 regular season opener against Northern Arizona at Sun Devil Stadium. The announcement was made by head coach Herm Edwards after Thursday's practice. Edwards said he met with the players and gave them official word Wednesday night. "It's always tough at that position because only one guy can play," Edwards said. "They were disappointed but we had good competition. They all got better." Edwards says Jones' versatility was a key. "He's the guy that has proven he can move the team in a bunch of ways. He can make some unannounced plays. The play that is not scripted. The competition was good for him to earn the trust of his teammates and the coaching staff and all the other guys improved too.

The departure of three-year starter Jayden Daniels to the transfer portal created a void at that position. The Sun Devils had five athletes competing for that spot in the spring but no one separated himself from the rest of the pack. Jones, a 6-foot-2, 210-pounder, was added to the mix in May, six weeks after he hit the transfer portal after three years in a Gator uniform. "I know one thing: When he throws the ball, he doesn't throw a lot of curveballs," Edwards said, earlier this month when discussing Jones. "It's fast. So you better be ready cause it's going to get on you. It gets on you fast. You don't have your head around, your hands ready, it can bounce off you. So you gotta get your head around. And that's the timing of receivers and quarterback." Jones completed 64.7% (224-for-346) of his passes in 2021 for 2,734 yards and 19 touchdowns but had 13 interceptions. - Arizona Republic
