Florida wide receiver Justin Shorter will not be returning for the 2023 season with the Gators.

This week, he accepted an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl, meaning that he is headed on to the NFL Draft.

“From my time playing at Penn State, to the past three years in Gainesville playing for the University of Florida, I am beyond fortunate to have many of my goals and dreams come true,” Shorter wrote on Thursday. “Thank you to coach [Josh] Gattis and coach [James] Franklin for giving me my first opportunity at Penn State; coach [Billy Gonzales] and coach [Dan] Mullen for bringing me to Gainesville; and coach [Billy] Napier and coach [Keary Colbert] for continuing to develop my skills and sharpen my craft each day in preparation for the next phase of my journey.”

Over three seasons with the Gators, the wideout amassed 95 receptions for 1,395 yards and eight touchdowns.
