Treadwell said in the statement that it was time to take the ''next step in my career'' and he thanked teammates, coaches and fans ''for their unbelievable support since the first day I stepped foot on campus.''
Freeze said in the statement that ''it was an honor to have coached Laquon, and our family will miss him greatly.''
