Former South Florida football player Nick Schuyler, the only one of four men to be rescued after their boat capsized in the Gulf of Mexico last Saturday, was released from Tampa General Hospital on Thursday, a friend of Schuyler's told ESPN's Kelly Naqi.

According to the friend, Schuyler will attend the memorial service for best friend and former USF player Will Bleakley, who went missing in the accident along with Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper and free agent defensive lineman Corey Smith, who played with the Detroit Lions last season. The service is scheduled for Saturday at the Crystal River United Methodist Church in Crystal River.

Schuyler was rescued Monday after the 21-foot fishing boat owned by Cooper capsized in rough seas.

The Coast Guard called off its search for Cooper, Smith and Bleakley on Tuesday, but Cooper's family had remained optimistic, enlisting private pilots and charter boats to continue the search. The Cooper family discontinued its search Friday.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, which is investigating the accident, met with the Smith family to update them on the progress of their report, FWC spokesman Gary Morsse told The Tampa Tribune. An investigation usually takes four to six weeks to complete.
