If tweet fails to load, click here. Honestly, surprised he remained on the team this long after his brother was dismissed. Seems he left on his own accord, wasn't dismissed from what little I can tell.

I think he was way down the depth chart, so throw in his brother's situation, probably just decided to bounce.
For his sake, hope he could somehow get picked up by a lower program.

I'm curious as to what the WR depth chart looks like.
Here is my guess.
WR - Singleton
Koger
Brian Williams Jr
WR - Nimrod
Sam Turner or Pettigrew
Slot - Neptune
Spencer
Maybe Taylor?
So I guess Erick Smith could have been down to 4th on the depth chart.

Yea, I'd say that's probably a pretty accurate look at it. Most likely was around 4th at best anywhere. I wouldn't be shocked if Spencer ends up starting, but splitting hairs at that point on your depth chart as him and Neptune will both play a ton.

He's 6'4" and 195 lbs can be play basketball. . .

Most of the WR room is fairly young too.
Nimrod is playing his last year. (But who knows with the wild CFB rules these days). The new guy Tray Taylor is in his last season too, I'm not sure how much of role he will have just joining the team a week ago.
Singleton can play up to 2.
Koger, Neptune, Pettigrew, and Turner have 4 years left.
Williams Jr., and Spencer have 5 years left. Brady Marchese too, but I haven't heard his name much.

I just looked at receptions stats for South Florida last year. Like you said, it does seem the like to spell WR a good bit. From what I've heard, this offense doesn't sub much during drives. They sub at the beginning of a drive to play fast.
Neptune was listed as an "OR" behind a 5th year starter on the week 1 depth chart. The 5th year had 36 receptions and Neptune had 38, with third guy getting 11.
Koger was listed as backup to Singleton. Singleton had 50 receptions, and Koger 38.
Pretty impressive for Koger and Neptune getting out there as True Freshmen. Even more for Neptune having enrolled after spring last year.

When you sub during drives. Suddenly “no huddle” vanishes. As long as no one on offense subs…..snap it and run.
