Florida Gators cornerback Cormani McClain is again in the spotlight, but this time for a good reason. Last week, Cormani went to watch the Colorado Buffs vs. UCF Knights game, which sparked controversy around him joining his former coach Deion Sanders’ team again as he is out of the depth chart of the Gators and not playing for them. But it looks like someone just put an end to that rumor.

Following the notion after the Florida Gators’ remarkable win of 24-13 against the UCF Knights on Saturday, Cormani McClain’s mother dismissed this speculation. Today, Diamond Kaishay took to her Instagram account to share a story, captioning it “Great Win Gators.” This subtlety puts an end to the narrative of Cormani joining Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffs.

Well, the growing speculation around Cormani McClain is because of his history with the Buffs. Cormani started his college football journey as a 5-star recruit playing for the Colorado Buffaloes in 2023. He played in 9 games, starting in just 4 of them, and recorded 13 tackles. Even though Coach Prime was not satisfied with his gameplay, the moment he thought Cormani was improving, he entered the transfer portal and joined the Florida Gators as a walk-on, but that also didn’t bring him any luck.

Well, even though Cormani McClain’s mother confirmed his commitment to the Florida Gators, his gameplay on the field is something that his fans have been rooting for since the start of the season. This was very evident when they raised scouting allegations against Cormani when he was spotted at the Colorado Buffs vs. UCF game in the hope that he might not play but be there as a scout for the Gators. However, recent events have shown that Cormani may play in Florida’s next game.

Will Cormani McClain play for the Florida Gators?

There are speculations made on former five-star recruit Cormani McClain’s return to the field. Surprising right? Yesterday Instagram page rivals Dotcom and Yahoo Sports collaborated in a video and shared a gist of Florida’s pregame practice. In the video, Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier throws the ball toward Cormani, and he drops it. Well, even if he did catch the football, the rumor rapidly caught its momentum on his return to the team. However, there is still no official confirmation regarding his playing status, but this looks like happy news.

Well, his absence has always been the spotlight of Florida’s games. A few months ago, before the season started, Billy Napier made a cryptic comment on Cormani’s status on the team, saying, “That’s a young player with minimal experience, so he’s doing just fine. He’s going to be OK.” This raised serious questions about his playing status. But that soon got cleared when he was not present in their season opener game against Miami. Well, let’s see if he returns for his Florida Gators’ next game against Tennessee.
