  Draft Scout by Conference









  Arizona State football coach Herm Edwards has preached the importance of competition from the day he walked on to the Tempe campus for the first time. So it wasn't enough to have five quarterbacks fighting for the starting nod. He went out and got a sixth in University of Florida transfer Emory Jones. When practices for the coming season begin Wednesday the competition will be on. The battle for the spot vacated by three-year starter Jayden Daniels, who transferred to LSU, will be one of the main storylines for the Sun Devils. The competition suits Jones (6-2, 211) just fine. "That's what we all signed up for," said Jones, who has two years of eligibility remaining. "That's what I enjoy, so I'm ready to get going and start competing. It's all competition. We all show up, work, every day. At Florida everybody wants to be the best, here it's not any different. My competitive level has just increased, just knowing I have to prove myself again." In his Gator career, Jones completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,347 yards, 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, adding 1,273 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.

While the Sun Devils have a half dozen athletes competing for the starting spot, Jones is the lone individual with significant collegiate experience under his belt which likely gives him a leg up on the others. However, he is the only one of the six that was not on campus for spring drills. "He has a luxury of experience. He's been around a couple offenses. Some of that background has helped those older guys learn the system a little faster," offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Glenn Thomas said, earlier this week. "But we're going to push him in there and get him as many reps as we possibly can. With that number of quarterbacks it's obviously a unique situation. We'll give all of those guys ample opportunities to really show what they can do." - Arizona Republic
