Two weeks later, Brantley still has yet to decide what his 2011 football future will hold. Much like he did after Muschamp was hired, Brantley said his focus right now is on the Gators' bowl game and he will sit down with his parents after Saturday’s Outback Bowl to determine which direction he’ll take.
"I haven’t really discussed it with my parents yet," Brantley said. "I’m really concentrating on playing this bowl game and playing the best against Penn State as I can."
NCAA bylaws, as noted by the Gainesville Sun, may make the decision for him, however.
According to NCAA rules, Brantley would not be eligible to transfer to another Football Bowl Subdivision school because he has less than two years of eligibility remaining. The same is true about transferring to a Football Championship Subdivision school, unless Florida granted Brantley a written release agreement stating UF didn’t object to Brantley receiving an exception to the transfer residence requirement.
Teammates Omarius Hines and Frankie Hammond Jr. both told the Sun that they believe he will ultimately stay at Florida and play his senior season in Gainesville. Brantley, though, remains focused solely on the here and now.
"I’m a Gator," he said. "That’s what I am right now."
