GAINESVILLE — Florida wide receivers Chris Dunkley and Javares McRoy have decided to transfer, Gators coach Will Muschamp announced Friday.
Dunkley, a 6-foot-2, 172-pounder from Pahokee High School, did not see any game action last year as a true freshman. McRoy, who is 5-9 and 159 pounds, was an early enrollee in January from Lakeland High.
Dunkley said in a statement that he believes it's in his best interest "to get a fresh start somewhere else." McRoy wants to play with his brother.
"I enjoyed my time at Florida, but I really want the chance to play with my brother Ben, who is at Texas Tech," McRoy said in a statement. "Florida has been very understanding and is giving me that opportunity."
"We wish both of these guys the best of luck in their future endeavors, both on and off the field," Muschamp said.
