Florida quarterback Emory Jones grabbed plenty of attention when he took the field against Georgia on Saturday.
In his first game-time action since Week 1 against Charleston Southern, Jones carried the ball four times for 12 yards in the Gators’ 36-17 loss to the Bulldogs in Jacksonville. And Florida coach Dan Mullen said it won’t be the last time the freshman takes some snaps in a game this year.
The NCAA implemented a new redshirt rule this season, which allows a player to participate in up to four games and still retain his redshirt status.
Given the new rule, the Gators (6-2, 4-2 SEC) will likely still redshirt Jones, but they have specific packages, much like the ones they had for him on Saturday, that they’ll put him in for at least two more games this season.
