Luke Del Rio’s name was buzzing before the start of last season.
During spring practice and fall camp of 2015, the transfer quarterback from Oregon State was standing out among Florida’s signal callers, and had he been eligible, he might have been the starter.
But he wasn’t eligible, and he couldn’t be the starter.
So when the season began, Del Rio got out of the way of the other quarterbacks and faded into the background — a choice he made for the betterment of the team.
"It was kind of an awkward situation in the sense that all I could do was focus on helping the defense get better on scout team," the redshirt sophomore said.
