The defensive back said he's enrolling in classes on Tuesday.

In a week’s time, Flagler County football has lost two of its top football players to transfers.
Flagler Palm Coast defensive back Kyle Oliver said Friday that he has enrolled at Mainland High School. He will begin classes on Tuesday.
“I moved to Daytona because my dad works there,” Oliver said. “I want to wish FPC football the best of luck next season. I’ll be supporting them, and I hope they do real well.”
Last Friday, former Matanzas starting quarterback Jeremiah Wilson announced that he transferred to Seabreeze.
In both cases, players said at least one of their parents is working in Volusia County, and so — financially — the move made sense.
Oliver, who will be a senior next season, said he knows he’ll have to compete for playing time on a very athletic Bucs’ defense. Mainland went 12-2 last season and made it to the Class 6A state semifinals.
“I just want to display what I can do on the field and help with anything I can,” he said. “I’m a pretty athletic player. I will compete for a starting job.”
