SANDUSKY, Ohio -- Nearly three months ago, Cardale Jones set Ohio State set social media on fire for a bit. Or maybe Jones thought it was four months ago.

Jones has been having a summer to remember on Twitter, but his words on May 1 are the ones that fans may remember most. He joked he was transferring to Akron. He wasn't.

Why'd he do it?

"OK, OK," Jones said Friday at a Ginn Academy event in Sandusky. "I really thought it was April 1. I'm serious. I realized it wasn't April 1, I was like, 'ooooo, May Fools' then I guess.'" I honestly thought it was April 1."

Jones said he caught some heat for the tweet prank, but when asked if Urban Meyer said anything, he said he didn't think Meyer knew about it. But Meyer knows about it now, because he was asked about it by a reporter at the same event.

"I didn't even see that," Meyer said. "Was that recently?"

No, it's been a while since your title-winning QB joked about leaving for the MAC.

"Tell him I'll go sign his papers right now," Meyer said with a smile.

Told Meyer had been asked about it, Jones said, "Oh, y'all told him, huh?" before muttering "that's messed up," three times with a smile on his face.

Jones, thankfully, remains an interesting follow on Twitter. But he probably won't try any more pranks. Or at least he'll double-check his calendar first.

Here's a reminder of Jones' activity from May Fool's
