Dante Fowler Jr. opted to forgo his final season of eligibility at Florida and pursue a professional career in the NFL. In order to thank the Florida fans for their support during his time with the program, Fowler took out an advertisement in the Gainesville Sun on Friday.
“Thank you Gator Nation for all the support and love the past three years,” the ad read. “We’ve got the best fans in the and. I’ll forever bleed Orange & Blue.”
Fowler, a defensive end, was one of Florida’s leaders on defense in 2014 as he registered 60 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.
Overall in his career, Fowler had 140 tackles, 33.5 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and five forced fumbles.
The 6-foot-3, 261-pound Fowler is projected by many to be a first round pick in May’s draft.
