Former Colorado Buffaloes cornerback Cormani McClaina former five-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, has found himself embroiled in more negative news at his new school.
The drama began when Gator Online’s Nick de la Torre reported (subscription required) that McClain was often absent from or showing up late to off-season events with the Florida alligators. Before entering the transfer portal in April, McClain exhibited similar behavior during his lone season at Colorado, according to CU coach Deion Sanders.
On Tuesday, PolkWay, South Florida-based media member claimed that McClain was “removed from the University of Florida football team,” a report that spread quickly on X (formerly Twitter).
However, McClain’s agent, Hector Rivas, and Florida secondary coach Will Harris soon came to McClain’s aid and denied Polk Way’s report. It has not yet been confirmed whether McClain was actually dealing with the attendance issues.
McClain joined the Gators as a preferred walk-on in May and is still on the roster, according to 247Sports.
