I have sprint triathalon in August and I really don't want to purchase a tri suit.
I plan to:
-swim shirtless (im a dude)
-Bike and Run in a cycling jersey.
Any thoughts on this? I plan to test it…but is running in a cycling jersey comfortable?

I did a 50 mile race in one, and it went just fine. (I wanted the pockets, so I didn't have to carry a pack.) Just get a baggier cut, and you should be good.
It's a sprint. Unless you are non-competitive, Swim/Bike/Run in jammers.
It will take you forever to pull on a cycling jersey when you're torso is wet. Try it before the race.
Completely false.
Dude.. it's a sprint. Cotton t-shirt and some basketball shorts and you're all set.
The cycling jersey would work ok, I've done this in the past. For a sprint, you don't need the pockets, so a running singlet could work just as well and would be cooler which is a factor for an August race. You'll want one that fits close enough to not flap around in the wind.
I use a mesh singlet cut high. Just enough room to put on
the number. Leave it right on top of my helmet so it's
already shaped to put on. Bike shirt would make you feel too
heavy.

+1
You're over-thinking this. It's a sprint tri.
