USF linebacker Cecil Cherry transferring

USF redshirt freshman MLB Cecil Cherry announced Sunday evening via Twitter he's transferring after barely more than a year in the program.

Cherry told the Lakeland Ledger's Brady Fredericksen on Sunday evening he'll transfer to Coahoma Community College in Clarksdale, Miss. He said was told one thing by USF's coaches -- and did another -- in regard to playing time, according to Fredericksen.

Not listed on the Bulls' most recent two-deep chart, Cherry departs his second Division I school in as many years. A four-star recruit from Lakeland's Victory Christian Academy, he signed with Texas but spent only a few days in the Longhorns' preseason camp before arriving at USF in August 2015.
