QB Sheriron Jones granted release from Colorado, could be going back to Tennessee

Sometimes those greener pastures aren't as green as they seemed from a distance.

After announcing his intention to transfer from Tennessee to Colorado earlier in the month, quarterback Sheriron Jones has be granted his release from Colorado and will apparently transfer back to Tennessee. 247Sports first reported the release.

The NCAA allows transfers up to 14 days to transfer back in the event that they do decide to leave a school. For now, it looks like Jones will maintain eligibility if he complies with the NCAA's rules and submits the proper paperwork. It is unclear when exactly Jones' original paperwork went through to transfer to Colorado, but he is really pushing that 14-day window right now.

Jones was a four-star recruit coming out of high school, and he sat out this season for Tennessee by taking a redshirt.
