KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) 4 Quarterback Sheriron Jones has returned to Tennessee after a brief transfer to Colorado.

Colorado announced Friday it had released Jones from his scholarship so that he could return to Tennessee. Robinson said at the time he couldn’t confirm anything until Tennessee received official paperwork granting Jones’ release from Colorado.
