USC's Moody to transfer to UF

Emmanuel Moody announced Monday that he plans to transfer to Florida and should be in school by the middle of the week.

UF coach Urban Meyer said at Monday's press conference for this week's game against Western Kentucky: "I can't comment. He's not here yet. Oops.''

Moody, was the second-leading rusher on the Trojans' team in 2006 and was featured on one of the regional covers of Sports Illustrated's college football edition for the upcoming season.

But he will be in Gainesville instead, saying during his announcement on Monday that he just felt more comfortable at UF than North Carolina _ the other school he considered.

Moody will have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the 2007 season per NCAA rules. He was the second-leading rusher on USC's team last season but became disgruntled when he felt he wouldn't be featured enough this year.
