FIU’s big-bodied, dual-threat QB with upside and a clean takeoff runway
In the 2024 season, Amari Jones flashed limited but efficient production for FIU, completing 7 of 12 passes for 101 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception, while adding 21 rushing yards in five games. What makes him intriguing is the frame and athletic profile: at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, he brings scrambler traits, a strong arm, and a developmental upside that fits a modern, mobile offense. He also arrives with a strong prep résumé and high-end basketball background, which often translates to poise and movement skills.
