Fayson to transfer

[JohnnyBGood]

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida receiver Jarred Fayson has been granted a release from his scholarship, allowing him to transfer.

School officials said Tuesday that Fayson had asked for his release after catching 12 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns and running 19 times for 89 yards this season.

The sophomore was rated the No. 3 receiver in the nation by Scout.com coming out of Hillsborough High in Tampa, but he played sparingly in two years with the Gators -- overshadowed by teammate Percy Harvin.

Fayson caught one pass for 9 yards last season and ran 14 times for 126 yards and a score.

Tight end Trent Pupello also was granted his release. Pupello, who quit the team briefly before the season, did not play.

The 10th-ranked Gators (9-3) return to practice Thursday and will find out Sunday where they will play a bowl game.

Like I said, Good Riddance. If you don't want to be a Gator, and A TEAM PLAYER, please get your @$$ out of here. Go lose at USF.

He wasnt getting the touches he wanted and had been in Urbs doghouse for numerous reasons.

I'm sure y'all would rather see him stay but his loss is minimal. I think for sure UF will be NC material next yr. UGA will be just as good though so it will be interesting to see who will win the SEC. LSU will probably have a down year and struggle so I'm guessing Auburn might come out the West,
