Florida's postseason football roster continues to shrink.

Two more players facing the prospect of little or no playing time next season are looking to transfer.

Junior quarterback Bryan Waggener and true freshman tailback Bo Williams have decided to look for playing opportunities elsewhere.

Williams told reporters after Thursday's practice that he is going to transfer to a school where the offense better fits his skills as a traditional I-back. Williams was an early enrollee last January, but missed spring practice with a knee injury and redshirted this season.

He would have been at the bottom of the depth chart at the start of this spring, behind Kestahn Moore, Brandon James, Southern Cal transfer Emanuel Moody and sophomore Mon Williams, who has recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him this season.

Waggener, a junior college transfer, was battling for the No. 2 quarterback role at the start of last spring, but fractured his foot in the first practice and missed the rest of the spring. This season, he dropped to fourth on the depth chart behind Tim Tebow and true freshmen Cameron Newton and John Brantley.

Offensive coordinator Dan Mullen said Waggener may be looking to transfer to a Division I-AA school, where he would be eligible next season.

Earlier this week, wide receiver Jarred Fayson and tight end Trent Pupello confirmed they are transferring. Pupello, who is from Tampa, is going to enroll at South Florida, while Fayson is looking at Illinois and West Virginia.
