As far as summer developments go, this is certainly a mildly interesting one.
On June 11, Adam Shuler took to Twitter to announce that he was transferring to Florida, a move that came four months after he decided to leave West Virginia. Earlier this week, the Gators released an updated football roster and the defensive lineman’s name wasn’t among those listed on it.
Why? Shuler is not enrolled in classes, per Robbie Andreu of the Gainesville Sun, leaving his status for the upcoming season very much up in the air.
West Virginia graduate transfer Adam Shuler is not enrolled in classes at Florida yet and his status for the upcoming season is uncertain.

Shuler is not listed on the update roster that was released by UF earlier this week because he is not enrolled in the Summer B semester, which started Monday.

As a graduate transfer, Shuler, who has two years of eligibility remaining, would be eligible to play immediately for the Gators in 2018. What the holdup is in enrolling in graduate school is unknown at the moment.
Shuler, a three-star member of the Mountaineers’ 2015 recruiting class, started 10 games this past season. In 12 games, Shuler’s three sacks were tied for third on the team while his eight tackles for loss were good for solo third.
As a redshirt freshman in 2016, Shuler played in 12 games for WVU.
