Last Friday, Aubrey Hill “stepped down” from his position as Florida’s wide receivers coach.
Exactly one week later, one of the former position coach’s players has decided to exit the Gators football program as well.
Head coach Will Muschamp confirmed this morning that wide receiver Ja’Juan Story has left the Gators and will transfer to an undetermined locale. No reason was given for the transfer, which the redshirt freshman requested yesterday.
“Ja’Juan came me to Thursday afternoon and indicated that he wanted to transfer,” Muschamp said in a statement. “He just felt like this wasn’t a good fit for him and he needed a fresh start. Ja’Juan is a good student and was a good teammate and we wish him the best of luck.”
Story was a four-star member of Muschamp’s first UF recruiting class in 2011, rated as the No. 31 player at his position coming out of high school in Brooksville, Fla. He is the 14th player overall to leave UF since Muschamp took over in December of 2010, and the fourth member of that initial class to bolt.
“I had a great experience here and met a bunch of great people,” Story said. “It is a great football program with great players and coaches. It just wasn’t the right fit for me.”
