Freshman legacy Jordan Haden leaving Florida

Multiple text messages to the Miami Herald, from the father of true freshman defensive back Jordan Haden confirmed that his son is indeed transferring from UF.Freshman strong safety Jordan Haden is transferring from Florida, according to his father, Joe Haden Sr. In a text message on Monday morning, Haden told the Miami Herald that "Haden will be transferring." Florida has not granted the transfer yet, according to Haden Sr., but he said he and his son "are working on that today." Haden was a highly regarded piece of UF's 2011 recruiting class and rated a four-star prospect by Rivals.com. He's also the brother of former UF All-American Joe Haden. "When asked why his son is transferring, Haden Sr. said, "No hard feelings. Florida is a great program and we love them. It just wasn't the best fit for Jordan." Florida has given Haden an unconditional release from his scholarship. He is now free to sign with any school, including SEC schools, and play after sitting out the 2010 season.
