After Two Arrest, Gator Freshman Justin Watkins Leaving UF "To Better My Opportunities"

Former 4-star Florida Gators freshman Justin Watkins, who was arrested twice in the last three months, has announced that he is leaving the program to "to better my opportunities."

Watkins was arrested back in May for allegedly kicking a woman's car and breaking her cellphone.

This past Tuesday he was arrested again for kidnapping/false imprisonment charges and domestic battery by strangulation. He also was charged with two first-degree misdemeanor battery counts.

The Citra, FL native was suspended indefinitely by head coach Dan Mullen and announced that he is leaving a program with a Tweet that has since been deleted. Here is what the tweet read:
