Gator Country has learned that safety Donovan McMillon plans to enter the transfer portal on December 5th.
The redshirt freshman took to Twitter to announce his decision.
“It has been a dream come true to suit up in the Orange and Blue,” McMillon wrote.
“From day one I gave this program everything in me to earn the opportunity to help this team. In order to obtain all of my goals and asipirations, my family and I have decided it’s best for me to enter the transfer portal. First and foremost, I want to thank my teammates, loved competing with you guys at the highest level and I’ll never forget the blood, sweat, and tears we went through. I also want to thank Coach Dan Mullen and his assistant coach, Ron English for recruiting this tough nosed wrestler out of Pennsylvania. I absolutely loved throwing my body all over the field the last two years for this program. I’d like to thank Head Coach Napier, DC Coach Toney and his staff and wish them the best in their future endeavors. Much love and God Bless.”
The 6-1, 205-pound safety spent most of his two years at Florida in a special teams role. McMillon played in just 64 defensive snaps this season, while logging a team high 239 snaps on special teams.
McMillon found himself behind true freshman Kamari Wilson and Miguel Mitchell on the depth chart for most of the season. Wilson logged 294 defensive snaps and Mitchell had 99. However, McMillon logged 24 of his 64 snaps against FSU, in his final game as a Gator.
McMillon logged 30 tackles (18 solo) and one TFL across 25 games in his Florida career. He will have three years of eligibility at his next school.
