Jim McElwain announced on Wednesday that redshirt junior quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg has decided to transfer away from the Florida Gators and has enrolled at Columbia.
Mornhinweg saw action in three career games, starting all of them in 2013 at South Carolina and then two at home against Georgia Southern and Florida State. Mornhinweg completed 44-of-63 pass attempts, including three touchdowns and an interception.
“We wish him the best, we’d love to have him stay here, but obviously as it sits, we’re right now with two scholarship quarterbacks,” McElwain said. “So moving forward, as you guys all know, that position, especially in this league now, you need to have some depth, so we’re constantly looking at that spot, as well as some other spots on the roster to try to make sure that we get some needed bodies in those areas.
