Muschamp was fired Sunday, less than 24 hours after the team’s sixth home loss in its last eight games. A 6-3 junior from St. Petersburg, Fowler posted on his Twitter page Tuesday night that “I came in with champ. I’m leaving with Him. Simple as that.”
The decision wasn’t a surprise. Not only is Fowler considered one of the top defensive ends in college football, but he struggled Tuesday to find a scenario in which he would return to Florida next season. Asked what it would take for him to stay, he paused for a few seconds and said “just if anything probably develops or if they were to say I was too young or something like that.”
