(FREE) Treon Harris to transfer from Florida

Alex Shepherd/Inside the Gators

Treon Harris will transfer from Florida after two years with the program.

Harris was in the middle of an indefinite suspension with the program (along with receiver Antonio Callaway) since January that was modified in June, where he could attend classes on campus while using Florida’s facilities as a resolution to his situation was reached.

However, three weeks ago ITG reported that Harris wasn't with the team for the first three workouts of Summer B and subsequently learned that he hadn’t been with the team during recent workouts.

He also wasn’t in attendance at this past weekend’s Friday Night Lights while his father, Booker T. Washington head coach Tim “Ice” Harris, was.

All of this came during talks that Harris would potentially be making a switch over to wide receiver with the Gators, as he essentially fell out of favor at quarterback with the Florida coaching staff. This comes after a sophomore season where Harris struggled taking over for a suspended Will Grier, as the Gators finished the year 4-4 under his leadership following a 6-0 start.

Harris finished his 2015 campaign with 1,676 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions on 50.6% passing.

He’s now the seventh scholarship quarterback to transfer from Florida since the start of 2013, joining Jacoby Brissett, Tyler Murphy, Max Staver, Jeff Driskel, Skyler Mornhinweg and Grier. Now, every quarterback to sign with Florida during the Will Muschamp era has since opted to transfer.

Harris is the seventh Gator to leave the program since the start of the offseason, joining linebacker Jeremi Powell, kicker Austin Hardin, offensive guard Travaris Dorsey, and receivers Raphael Andrades, Ryan Sousa and Alvin Bailey.

Florida moves on at the quarterback position heading into fall training camp with Luke Del Rio, Austin Appleby, Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask.
