Cardale Jones Ohio State celebrate

The last name of Ohio State's quarterback is Jones. But is his first name Cordale or Cardale?

(Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- You know who will start at quarterback for Ohio State against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

But are you sure you know his name?

Is he sure he knows his name?

When he was the Buckeyes' third-string quarterback, the question of the true identity of Cardale/Cordale Jones wasn't much of an issue. In his official Ohio State bio, he was Cardale, just as he'd been at Glenville High School.

(But Ohio State also had J.T. Barrett's name listed as John Thomas before Braxton Miller got hurt, and then corrected it to Joe Thomas once Barrett became the starter.)

But on Jones' social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat, he listed himself as Cordale.

Now that he's the starter, now that the national championship hopes of the Buckeyes lie largely in the hands of the redshirt sophomore from Cleveland, he wanted to clear up the confusion.

The quarterback said he changed his social media accounts to reflect his true first name.

"I saw everyone was having a fit about that," Jones said, "like, 'Dang, what is his name?'"

And his name is?

"Man, my name is Cardale.

And everyone should know it's Cardale."

But what do all his friends from Glenville and back in Cleveland call him?

Cordale.

Here's why, as explained by Quarterback Jones.

When he played at Glenville High, Jones had an older teammate named Cordale Scott, a receiver who was recruited by Ohio State but chose to go to Illinois.

He played two seasons there in and before transferring to Toledo and finishing his career with the Rockets in and as a tight end.

Cardale and Cordale sound alike.

"Everyone would be like, 'Cordale, Cordale,' and I'd think they were trying to say my name and they're getting it wrong," Jones said. "And we both used to look up, like,'What?'

"So it just kind of stuck."

It didn't just stick.

It reached the point where Jones not only answered to Cordale, he stopped responding to anyone calling him Cardale.

"It was a joke at first," Jones said. "I wouldn't answer to nothing but Cordale."

But then it became who he was.

It's who he still is to the friends back home who know him best. But now there's a whole new world of people getting to know the starting quarterback for the No. 4 team in the country.

And this story tells you a little bit about him. Jones is not a guy who worries about much. His Ohio State roommate, safety Tyvis Powell, tried to explain the Cardale/Cordale story, but didn't quite get it right.

"I asked him the same thing two years ago," Powell said of the first name.

"Cardale is a weird guy.

He does things where you go, 'Really, Cardale? For what?' I don't know. He's a silly guy."

But now he made the switch. Cardale is Cardale again.

And what does Cordale Scott think?

"He always tells me, 'Man, your name is not Cordale,'" Jones said. "I'm like, 'Yes, it is.'

"I'm just messing with him.

It's Cardale."
