Supreme '18 Tracker: Emory Jones Returns to Game Action While Master Teague III Runs Wild

LIKE HE WAS NEVER GONE

Ohio State four-star quarterback commit Emory Jones led Franklin, Georgia, Heard County to a 42-16 win over South Atlanta in the inaugural Hall of Fame Game at Staples Stadium on Friday Night. It was his first game action since he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last October.

“Man, [I] loved it,” Jones told Eleven Warriors. “It feels so easy now. Just transferring everything I've learned this past summer to the game.”

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Jones completed 10 of 15 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown, and his stats would have been even better if it weren't for a few drops by his wide receivers. He added 40 yards and one touchdown on five carries, while the Braves' defense held the Hornets to 72 yards of total offense through three quarters to advance to 1-0 on the young season.

Jones was admittedly inconsistent on the camp circuit this spring and into the summer, as he was invited to the Elite 11 Finals but skipped over for Nike Football's The Opening Finals a few weeks later. You'd think he'd be nervous stepping onto the field on Friday night as a result, but that wasn't the case.

“[I'm] 100 percent,” Jones said. “I worked hard in my rehab and throwing a lot, so I wasn't that nervous.”

BEST BACK IN THE NATION

One state away, Ohio State three-star running back commit Master Teague III was virtually unstoppable in every phase of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Blackman's 63-28 win over Hendersonville on Friday night.

Just four plays into the game, the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Teague took a handoff 63 yards to the house to Blackman ahead, 7-0. He then caught a wheel route out of the backfield for a 32-yard score on the Blaze's next possession.

His teammate and four-star wide receiver target Trey Knox got into the act, as he hauled in a short slant pass and took it 57 yards to put Blackman up 21-0. He caught six passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns, the second which came on a tip drill in the back of the end zone to put the Blaze ahead 28-0.

Hendersonville cut the lead to 35-7 before Teague put the nail in the Commandos' coffin with a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff. He finished the opening game of his senior season with 17 carries for 188 yards and two touchdowns, two catches for 58 yards and one touchdown and the aforementioned kick return.

THEY'LL SURELY BOUNCE BACK

Thirty miles west, Ohio State four-star offensive tackle commit Max Wray's senior season got off to a rough start when Franklin, Tennessee, dropped a 14-10 decision to cross-county rival Brentwood. Though the two schools are now in different classes, the Rebels and Bruins have met 39 times, more than any opponents in Williamson County.

Brentwood rushed out to a 14-0 lead, but Franklin cut the lead when running back David Whitehurst raced 87-yards to the end zone untouched. The Rebels pulled within four on a 33-yard field goal with eight minutes remaining in the game, but were unable to finish the comeback.

New to this year's prep tracker is the inclusion of every commit's schedule. We'll keep track of their team's records and compile their stats for a better scope of how their respective seasons are unfolding, as opposed to a simple week-by-week recap.
