DeMarkcus Bowman breaks down why he’s transferring to Florida

The Florida Gators were in the middle of the first quarter of Saturday’s game against South Carolina when they received big recruiting news.

Running back DeMarkcus Bowman (5-11, 190, Lakeland, FL. High) announced he was transferring from Clemson to Florida on Saturday because of the feeling he gets in Gainesville.

“Florida has always been a dream school growing up for me,” Bowman said of why he picked Florida. “They’re a traditional pipeline for Lakeland, it has always been the same with them, and it’s always been love and always felt like home.”

Bowman who liked Florida a lot during his recruiting process last year admits that he picked Clemson for one reason and unfortunately that reason is no longer with us.
