GAINESVILLE It appears that RB Mon Williams' tenure with Florida has come to an end.

According to a report in the Gainesville Sun, Williams is seeking a transfer because of a lack of playing time and so he can be closer to his family.

Williams tore an ACL in practice last season and has not showed the explosiveness he was known for since. The Gators attempted to convert him to a linebacker, but he still spent the majority of his time playing running back with the scout team.

Williams was also critical of running backs coach Kenny Carter.

"I feel like since we got this new coach [Carter], everything's been downhill," he told the Sun. "We never talk. Even when he comes around, we never talk. He'll only comment when something bad goes down."

Coach Urban Meyer was not available for comment. Williams' transfer is not official, as he has not contacted the university compliance office, sports information director John Hines said.

JENKINS EMERGES: CB Janoris Jenkins exudes confidence, but he is a bit surprised by how quickly he became a key contributor on defense.

Jenkins has started the past three games, and he has emerged as one of the surprises of the season.

"I came here to make big plays with the defense," Jenkins said. "I think I'm a good example. I came in during the spring, worked hard, competed and made plays during two-a-days, and it paid off."
