With the team's season now over after being eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, Florida will see two players leave its campus.

Gators forward Keith Stone is transferring out of the program, a source told Stadium's Jeff Goodman. He'll be available to play next season as a graduate transfer.

Stone's junior season came to an end after he tore his left ACL in January during a game against Georgia. Stone averaged 6.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per contest across 17 games this season, including 13 starts.

Florida will also lose sophomore guard Michael Okauru, who announced his decision to transfer on social media Tuesday.

"Thankful for the teammates I had at Florida and the Rowdies who supported, but I've decided to transfer and pursue other options," he said.

Okauru was a four-star recruit coming out of high school. He played sparingly during his two years in Gainesville, Fla., averaging 2.6 points and 8.8 minutes per contest across 69 appearances.
