Watkins ‘leaves’ Florida leaves after second arrest

Finally Dan Mullen has an Advil to lesson his current headache – Justin Watkins, his four-star freshman cournerback – has said he’s going to leave the school, according to the Miami Herald.

According to the Herald, he said in a tweet: “I am leaving the University of Florida to better my opportunities“.

Watkins has been arrested twice in the last three months since his arrival.

The first – which happened in May – was when he followed a female student to her car and kicked her car – after following her to her high school. He was arrested there for illegal trespass. And then Watkins was arrested for a quadruple felony. This included two first-degree counts of kidnap (false imprisonment), a third-degree count of domestic battery by strangulation, according to records. That’s pretty frightening.

It smells a lot like Mullen gave him the ‘leave or you’ll be fired’ talk. Watkins took the ‘I’ll resign’ approach.
