Ohio State QB Cardale Jones has made the decision to return to Ohio State.

Jones' NFL Draft stock has been skyrocketing after he became the Buckeyes' starting quarterback following season-ending injuries to Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett.

The 6-5, 250 pound redshirt sophomore closed out this season with three starts — a Big Ten championship, a Sugar Bowl victory over No. 1-ranked Alabama, and a win over No. 2 Oregon in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Game. However, that didn't change Jones' tune, who was consistent all along in saying, "my decision was very simple."

Following Jones' announcement, current Ohio State players took to Twitter. Here is a look at some of the top tweets.
