    He was decent in coverage, but I can't remember any other DB who dropped so many opportunities for an INT.

    He is one of our best players. Sad to see him go.

    He was a menace against the tunnel screen. Always played it well.

    Unfortunately, I will remember him for the late hit targetting on the FSU QB on 3rd and 14 (which was a few plays after his PI on Coleman) that allowed them sustain the drive and score a TD to go up 24-15 and ice the game. Without the penalty, we get the ball back with plenty of time and only need a FG to win it, which might have changed some of our recruiting forutnes, ending with a big home victory against a previously undefeated FSU instead of a 5th straight loss. Happy New Year!

    Harris offering a lot of guys. No sure bet on being a starter. Harris has many connections and is using them.

    We have lots of good grad programs here.

    Congrats on the degree. I wish him well in life, but can't wish him well in his football future since now he's competition.

    The light bulb is coming on in terms of losing db's and why so many db's are being brought in. Clearly, we have sucked on defense and especially on the backend. Thanks, Candy

    Jaydon is a good player and was the best and most consistent player on our defense. Sucks to see him go.

    He was easily one of our best defenders. This is a loss. The kid had a good year.

    For sure, and me too. Having 5th year guys around is always good for many reasons.

    True, but I’ve heard it said several times ( not sure if true) he walked with thought of going to NFL. If that was true and now transferring it is concerning when he could have come back here and started. This is a loss. The thought was he might be happy with projected draft position and come back to Florida not transfer.

    Sure, and just imagine how good he could be if he didn't have hands of stone.

    I'm not saying I'm glad he's gone, but fair or not, he will be remembered for a bunch of dropped INTs and some crucial penalties against FSU. One of our best defenders? That's not saying much. Solid player, but let's not act like we're losing Lito Sheppard here.

    That’s a lot of quality and at least 4 if not 5 starters that have walked and they ain’t going to the NFL. Looks bad.
