GAINESVILLE — Jacoby Brissett will take another shot at being a starting quarterback, though it will not be at Florida. Brissett, a true sophomore from Dwyer High School, has informed the Gators that he will leave the program and is in the process of picking a new school. UF coach Will Muschamp must approve any destination on his list. By leaving now, Brissett can go through spring practices with his new team. He must sit out the upcoming season and can return as a red-shirt junior in 2014. Florida confirmed that he is leaving and announced that fellow sophomore Chris Johnson, mainly a special teams player, is too. “Both Jacoby and Chris expressed an interest in transferring and getting a fresh start,” Muschamp said. “We are very thankful for their contributions to the University of Florida and wish them the best of luck.” There appeared to be no future for Brissett in Gainesville with fellow sophomore Jeff Driskel firmly planted as the starter.

He technically started the season opener, though he exited after the first snap and played less than one quarter.
