Not many kids growing up in the state of Virginia dream of playing for the Florida Gators. But 2019 quarterback commit Jalon Jones (6-3, 205, Richmond, VA. Henrico) is far from ordinary.
He remembers picking the Gators as his team in NCAA video games as a kid and credits Florida with helping him find his love for football.
