Back in May, Florida 2019 linebacker signee Diwun Black announced he would have to attend junior college after not academically qualifying at UF. We now know where the 6-foot-3.5, 216-pound former four-star recruit will be attending.

According to NJCAA.org, Black has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Perkinston, Miss.

When Black originally announced the news he had to go the junior college route, he released the following statement.

"I will not be attending the University of Florida, instead I will be attending community college this summer," Black's statement read. "Maybe to y'all I fail, but to me I've come a long way, I wasn't [supposed] to graduate..."

Rumors about academic hurdles circled around Black for much of his recruitment. He originally attended Forest (Miss.) prior to moving to Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola for his senior year. Black missed his senior season of football, but was able to play basketball for Osceola in the winter.

In September of 2017, Black gave a commitment to Mississippi State and then head coach Dan Mullen. When Mullen left for Florida, Black eventually de-committed from the Bulldogs. Ole Miss then landed Black's commitment in April of 2018. However, Mullen and his staff at Florida continued to pursue Black, who eventually flipped to the Gators in August of 2018.

The following is Black's player evaluation from 247Sports:

Long, rangy athlete with a frame that has morphed effectively into a linebacker body from a defensive back. Still possesses more physical growth potential. Uses length extremely effectively in pass game. Shows plus coverage instincts. Outstanding hips and fluidity in his drops and backpedal. Has high level ball skills honed from offensive background. Physical tackler that excels in space. Does not have elite straight line testing numbers but plays fast. Very limited experience as a box linebacker. Will need to demonstrate every-down physicality and ability to defeat second level blockers. Impact high-level Power Five prospect with early round NFL draft upside.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, ranked Black as the nation's No. 151 overall prospect and the No. 9 inside linebacker in the 2019 recruiting class.

Black is the third 2019 signee to defect from Florida's recruiting class. In late April, news of early enrollee quarterback Jalon Jones entering the NCAA transfer portal broke. Just last week, another early enrollee from Florida's 2019 class, cornerback Chris Steele, opted to transfer from the program as well. The trio were all four-star recruits coming out of high school and considered key members of the Gators 2019 class that ranked No. 9 in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.
