Players, Fans, Social Media React to Emory Jones' Commitment to Arizona State /

Since Jayden Daniels left Arizona State, potential answers at ASU's quarterback position have come and gone.

The Sun Devils sought options within and outside of the program to handle duties during spring practice. The early returns weren't enough to warrant confidence to hand the keys to any of the five passers on the roster, and thus the transfer portal became another option for ASU.

Now, Arizona State believes they have their man.

Former Florida quarterback Emory Jones is now the favorite to win the starting job in Tempe after announcing his decision to commit to ASU.

One of his potential targets in Chad Johnson Jr. didn't seem too upset about the move.

Fellow receiver Elijah Badger made it clear the Sun Devils took no days off and are ready for Jones.

Top offensive lineman LaDarius Henderson also approves of the move.

Other segments of Twitter also made their voices heard, with some mixed reviews for Jones.

Big get for @ASUFootball - have always been impressed by @eXjones6, on and off the field. Going to fit in extremely well at #ASU.

And stoked to see you again man!

With 12 starts in 2021 alone, Emory Jones immediately has more experience than the rest of the Sun Devil quarterback room, combined.

He also saw plenty of reserve snaps from 2018-2020. https://t.co/gp2yYgv6Z5

Why would anyone jump on that half submerged ship?

Just like we all thought a year ago, we’d be seeing a Bo Nix/Emory Jones battle in the PAC-12 by 2022 https://t.co/0uGQf55y2q

Remember when actual humans mocked Emory Jones in the first round last off-season?

As with any major transfer, the jury will remain out on exactly how this move will ultimately benefit the parties of Arizona State, Jones and Florida.
