Former Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel, the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the 2011 recruiting cycle per 247Sports Composite rankings, has informed other potential schools that he intends to transfer to Louisiana Tech, sources confirmed on Sunday.

The Bulldogs have been considered the likely team of choice for the former five-star for the past 24 hours.

Louisiana Tech, which played for the Conference USA championship this season under head coach Skip Holtz, is looking for a replacement for starter Cody Sokol, who passed for 3,436 yards and 30 touchdowns this past season.

Driskel will have one year of eligibility remaining.
