Offensive lineman Cam Dillard announced via his Twitter account Tuesday night that he plans to transfer from the University of Florida for his final season of collegiate eligibility.
Dillard, who just finished his redshirt junior season, will be immediately eligible to compete as a graduate transfer.
"This school has provided me with a great education and even better friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life," Dillard wrote. "It has been a great ride here with great people surrounding me. I am excited to see what God has in store for my family and I."
Dillard, a 6-4, 313-pound lineman, played in 25 games during the last three years for the Gators, 19 of which were starts. He started the first eight games this year at center for UF before missing the final five games with a left knee injury.
The Canton, Michigan, native is the second offensive lineman to leave the team following the season. Starting left tackle David Sharpe announced earlier Tuesday that he was going to forgo his senior season in favor of the NFL Draft.
Dillard is also the second UF player to transfer away from the team this season. The other is running back Jordan Cronkrite, a former standout at Westminster Christian.
