GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks announced his plans to transfer a couple weeks ago, and this weekend he will graduate and earn his degree, allowing him to transfer and play elsewhere right away as a graduate transfer if he wants.

Franks is one of 11 scholarship football players taking part in this weekend's commencement ceremonies. He's also not the only potential graduate transfer; tight end Lucas Krull is also graduating this weekend and has already announced his plans to transfer from the program after playing sparingly in 2019.

That said, Franks hasn't officially announced that he will seek a transfer. In a statement he released about his departure from Florida, he indicated that he would seek feedback about his prospects in this year's NFL Draft should he choose to enter the professional ranks.

To date there's been little word of Franks' plans around the program.

In fact, there really hasn't even been news from other programs of interest from Franks or mutual contact between Franks and a potential transfer destination. Where he winds up will certainly be fascinating, given the success transfer quarterbacks have had in recent years.

Franks had developed into a solid SEC starter under coach Dan Mullen, going 242-for-393 passing (61.5%) for 3,155 yards with 29 touchdowns and nine interceptions, along with 131 carries for 428 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.

In any case, with his degree from Florida, the next step for Franks -- whatever that step should be -- becomes much easier.

Below is a list of other major sport scholarship players participating in this weekend's fall commencement ceremonies at Florida.
