Texas WR Darius White to transfer
AUSTIN, Texas (AP)—Texas sophomore wide receiver Darius White will transfer and won’t play for the Longhorns in the Holiday Bowl.
White, a former high school All-American from Fort Worth, had six career receptions with one touchdown in 20 games.
White has been given an unconditional release from the Longhorns. In a statement released by Texas, White says he needs a fresh start but has not decided where he will go.
Texas (7-5) qualified for a bowl game this year after a losing season in 2010. The Longhorns will play California (7-5) in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 28 in San Diego.

Headlinin’: Jeff Godfrey bails on UCF, but can he go home again?
Happy trails. According to his father, Central Florida quarterback Jeff Godfrey has been granted a release to transfer after two seasons as the Knights' starter, on the same day he was declared ineligible for the spring semester for unspecified reasons. In 2010, Godfrey — a three-star recruit from Miami who allegedly had offers from Miami, Florida State and Georgia, among other heavy hitters — was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year for leading the Knights to the conference championship and the first top-25 finish in school history following a Liberty Bowl upset of Georgia. This year, he struggled and wound up splitting time with freshman Blake Bortles as UCF sunk to 5-7 despite fielding the No. 1 total and scoring defense in the league.
"It was the right time to go when he started to have lack of playing time," Jeff Godfrey Sr. told the Orlando Sentinel. "He never had any problem with competing for the starting job. It was just a question of whether he would get a fair chance to compete."
Godfrey is free to transfer to any school outside of Conference USA (the Knights' current league) or the Big East (the Knights' future league), a list that is reportedly topped by his hometown school: Miami. Which would be interesting, considering Godfrey was one of the recruits implicated by former 'Cane booster Nevin Shapiro in the sprawling improper benefits scandal that rocked Miami earlier this year, and likely owed his eligibility in 2011 to his willingness to cooperate with NCAA investigators in their case against the U.
