Florida was one of the biggest movers on National Signing Day and ended up with the No. 13 class according to ESPN's rankings. They landed some unexpected recruits in running back Adarius Lemons (who had off-field issues) as well as receiver James Robinson (off-field issues) and stole receiver Daquon Green from Miami.

Worton was rarely used this year as he had only four receptions for 45 yards and appeared in five games. He's a little on the smaller side at 6'0" and 196 pounds, but did give the team a good veteran presence. The Homestead, Fla. native has not said if he will transfer or if he is giving up football altogether, but the loss may not hurt all that bad with other guys on the roster.
