University of South Florida coach Skip Holtz said defensive back Spencer Boyd, a rising sophomore, will transfer to another program. Boyd, who transferred to USF from Notre Dame, was suspended for the season’s final three games.

Holtz listed three other USF players – defensive tackle Marquis White, guard Tony Kibler and linebacker Armando Sanchez – who wouldn’t return next season.

Running back Darrell Scott, who would have been a senior next season, is leaving early for the NFL draft. Holtz said Scott was projected as a fourth-to-sixth-round pick by an NFL advisory board.

Holtz said he hopes to have a new defensive coordinator in place by next week. Mark Snyder, USF’s defensive coordinator the past two seasons, accepted the same position at Texas A&M.
