Florida Gators WR Chris Dunkley and WR Javares McRoy are planning to transfer, Florida coach Will Muschamp announced Friday. Neither has seen action for the Gators.
"It's been a great learning experience being here at the University of Florida, but I feel like it's in my best interest to get a fresh start somewhere else, " Dunkley said in a statement released by the athletic department.
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-foot-9 and 159 pounds, was an early enrollee in January from Lakeland High.
"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.
