Cardale Jones nearly caused thousands of heart attacks in Ohio on Friday afternoon.
Jones, the Ohio State quarterback who led the Buckeyes to a national title, tweeted that he was leaving the school for a “new beginning” and “fresh start” at Akron.
He even made his entire profile Akron themed and changed his bio to simply “Fresh Start.”
After a few tense minutes for Ohio State fans, Jones revealed that it was all a joke and tweeted “May Fools.”
And thanks to Cardale Jones, a slow Friday afternoon in the college football world momentarily exploded into social media chaos.
Well played, Cardale.
