WR Coxson leaves Gators for Terps

Wide receiver Adrian Coxson told The Baltimore Sun on Thursday night that he will transfer from Florida to Maryland. "It’s a positive environment, and the coaches are really good," Coxson said of Maryland. "It’s a great place for me to achieve my goals and take me to the next level." The Orlando Sentinel reported earlier in the day that the 6-foot-2, 196-pound freshman was granted his release from Florida. As a high school senior, Coxson played quarterback for the Knights, completing 27 of 57 passes for 650 yards and eight touchdowns, while rushing for 1,280.yards and 11 touchdowns on 106 carries. He returned four punts for touchdowns and was named to The Baltimore Sun’s All-Metro first team. The Baltimore native was part of Florida's highly-touted 2010 recruiting class, but fell behind a pair of early enrollee receivers, which no doubt exacerbated his desire to get back from where he came.
