T.J. McCoy was an N.C. State freshman this spring. Now, thanks to unfortunate family circumstances and Florida's dire need for offensive line, McCoy will be close to home — and a Gator.
McCoy has transferred to Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported, somewhat unexpectedly, late Sunday night, with McCoy's name surprising most within Florida's fan base and on the Florida beat. What's more, thanks to a hardship waiver, McCoy will be immediately eligible to play for Florida this fall, likely adding depth to a line that can use as much as it can get.
But the Gators may be trying to keep the news quiet.
