Emory Jones will be the starting quarterback for ASU football week one against NAU, according to head coach Herm Edwards. Edwards also announced the captains for the 2022 season: LaDarius Henderson, Case Hatch, Kyle Soelle, Merlin Robertson and Jones.
Edwards also mentioned earlier this week that Michael Matus will be an honorary captain following his season-ending knee injury.
Jones entered the transfer portal in March after throwing for 2,734 yards and 19 touchdowns on a 64.7 completion percentage at Florida in 2021. Shortly after, ASU coaches seemingly put on a recruiting offensive, following Jones on social media en masse.
