The Florida depth chart just took another hit as reserve defensive lineman Griffin McDowell has entered the transfer portal.

It’s the second loss of the day for the Gators, as it was also announced on Wednesday that veteran linebacker Diwun Black was dismissed from the team due to disciplinary reasons. McDowell will enter the transfer portal as a grad student after receiving his bachelor’s degree in sociology from Florida back in May.

McDowell announced his decision via Twitter, but did not give a specific reason for his departure.

McDowell was a Mississippi State commit in 2018, but was flipped to Florida when head coach Dan Mullen left Starkville for Gainesville. McDowell made his collegiate debut in Florida’s season opener in 2018, and appeared in two games as a reserve offensive tackle.

As a sophomore, McDowell appeared in all 13 games as a reserve offensive lineman before switching over to special teams his junior year. He played in 9 games as a contributor on special teams as a junior, and appeared in all 13 games in a special teams role in 2021.
