Florida Football Recruiting: Jim McElwain Shocks Masses, Lands James Robinson

Leading up to National Signing Day, it was widely believed that four-star wide receiver James Robinson was going to sign with the Florida football team. Unfortunately, Robinson was arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession during his visit at Ohio State.

As a result of that poor decision, Florida reportedly decided that Robinson wouldn’t be allowed to play for the University of Florida.

Head coach Jim McElwain responded to the decision by reaching out to schools around the country in an attempt to find Robinson a new team to play for. Beautiful a display of human decency as that may be, it only scratched the surface of how good of a man McElwain is.
