GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Two more Florida Gators announced Wednesday they're leaving school early to enter then NFL draft.
Florida running back Jordan Scarlett and linebacker Vosean Joseph announced their decisions via social media.
"I feel this decision is in my best interest for my future and I have been so fortunate for the undeniable opportunity to live out my childhood dream and play in the National Football League," Scarlett wrote in an Instagram post. "I was truly blessed to be a student athlete at such a prestigious university and I will be forever grateful."
