Notre Dame center Dan Wenger transfers to Florida

According to the Orlando Sentinel, an offensive lineman that Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis recruited to Notre Dame has transferred to Florida, his high school coach confirmed. Center Dan Wenger, a Coral Springs native, will transfer to Florida after an injury-plagued career with the Fighting Irish. "I'm aware of Danny Wenger transferring to the University of Florida," said George Smith, Wenger's coach at St. Thomas Aquinas. "It's a very good situation for both parties. "Dan Wenger's a great player. He's a great kid," Smith added. "He's a kid that'll work like heck." Wenger came to Notre Dame in 2006, Weis' second year as the Irish's head coach, but has dealt with injuries throughout his career. Wenger redshirted his freshman year. According to reports, he received a sixth year of eligibility after suffering two concussions early in the 2010 season. He did not play last year, and Notre Dame's medical staff did not clear him to return to football. Smith said Wenger plans to enroll at the end of June. He indicated that Wenger would get medical clearance to play. "It's all cleared, all cleared up," Smith said. Werner, a 6-foot-4, 298-pound center, would help Florida with one of its greatest positions of need. Florida has 13 scholarship offensive linemen and is replacing Mike Pouncey, who was taken 15^th overall in the NFL Draft, at center.
