Hard-hitting Florida safety Keanu Neal has decided to not return for his senior season in Gainesville. Instead, he will enter the 2016 NFL Draft. 

Neal made his intentions publicly known on his Instagram account. Considered one of the most physical players in the SEC regardless of position, the safety finished third on the team with 96 tackles. He also registered 2.0 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. 

It's been an offseason of loss thus far for Jim McElwain and his staff. Neal is the fifth Gator to leave school early -- joining corner Vernon Hargreaves III, defensive lineman Alex McCalister, running back Kelvin Taylor, and receiver Demarcus Robinson.
