Florida’s five-star recruit, freshman DB Chris Steele, has entered the transfer portal after requesting to switch roommates and being denied.
Steele was rooming with QB Jalon Jones ,who is accused of two sexual assaults thirty-minutes apart.
Via GatorSports.com:
The former five-star recruit has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. Steele met with UF coach Dan Mullen on Wednesday night and informed him, a source close to the situation told The Sun.
The decision stems from a request Steele made to the staff during his first month on campus, the source said. He asked to be moved to a different dorm because he was uncomfortable rooming with quarterback Jalon Jones, his classmate.
The staff did not plan to move Steele until the summer, which upset Steele and his parents, according to the source.
Then two female students accused Jones of sexual assault in the players’ dorm rooms on April 6. That prompted Steele to seek a transfer.
