He’s going to be at camp until Saturday, but we got the first glimpses of Florida 2019 quarterback commitment Jalon Jones on Wednesday as he threw in the afternoon portion of the two day camp in Gainesville. Jones was ready to get coached up by the Florida staff.

For Jones, it was a chance to get coached up by Florida quarterback coach Brian Johnson who was coaching at Houston a year ago and another chance for head coach Dan Mullen to teach him a few things after camping in Starkville last summer.

“The camp was fun, working out with Coach Brian (Johnson) and Coach Mullen,” Jones would say shortly after. “It’s been a while had some Coach Mullen teaching. He’s showing me a few things, so I’m just appreciative of the things they are teaching.”

Jones is planning on spending the rest of the week and through Saturday at the camps. He will be in the ears of some of the prospects that are going to be on hand to come join in him in the s2019 class. But, he’s also finding it a great time to get to know the players on campus.

“I just want to spend more time with the players and I’m starting to build some good relationships with everybody,” he said. “I’m really excited to just keep those relationships.”

The football players showed up to work out on their own for an hour during the camp session, then they went behind closed doors when strength coach Nick Savage and company showed up to put them through a summer workout. Afterward, the players were pretty much begging for mercy and Jones already knew what to expect.

“They said he doesn’t play,” he said with a little chuckle. “They say he has the last name (Savage) for a reason. I already knew that with some workouts he put me through at Mississippi State. I know he’s going to do great things for the Florida program so I’m excited to see it.”

Savage did have a chance to chat with Jones about some things to do to be safe in workouts.

“He’s just saying how to build good muscle so you don’t tear muscle,” Jones said. “He was breaking it down to the science of it, so that is just something he brings special to the weight training.”
