(SBT24/7News) If a statement released by Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis is any indication, backup quarterback Demetrius Jones may be about to transfer schools.

"At 2:30 today, while boarding the bus to Michigan, I was notified that
Demetrius Jones had decided not to make the trip," Weis said in a statement released early Friday evening. "I have not spoken to Demetrius and can only say that he missed the team bus. Any additional comment would be without all the facts."

Jones started ND's first game this season, a 33-3 loss to Georgia Tech. The sophomore was pulled before halftime in favor of junior Evan Sharpley, who eventually yielded to current starter Jimmy Clausen.

That was the only game Jones has appeared in during his time at Notre Dame.
