Florida Gators star cornerback Cormani McClain proved why fans were waiting for his comeback in the game. Not only did he fill up for the injured players, but he also displayed a remarkable game against the Kentucky Wildcats. Now with recent events unfolding, even the Florida Gators team also looks pretty convinced with his gameplay. It looks like the young player no longer lacks discipline in him.

Following this today, the Florida Gators took to their official Instagram page to share a post highlighting their words of appreciation for Cormani McClain’s exceptional performance against the Wildcats, which gave an edge to the team. The Gators wrote, “Took advantage of the opportunity. 🐊” Well, that’s a straight fact. Cormani scored his first career interception by picking off Kentucky’s star quarterback, Cutter Boley, to the sideline.

Moreover, Cormani McClain’s remarkable interception gave the Gators their 25 yards, which ultimately resulted in a dominating victory for the team. Now you can understand why Florida Gators is celebrating his debut like Christmas. He emerged as head coach Billy Napier’s hidden weapon against Kentucky.

Yes, this is the same guy who was not even listed on the team depth chart and who is now making headlines for his jaw-dropping execution. Even Billy Napier, who allegedly had some issues going on with him, praised him after the game, saying, “When Cormani was on the scout team early in the season, he would intercept a couple of passes every day. I would just tell the staff, Hey, this guy is down here; he got here mid-summer. Doesn’t know as much, but he can play man coverage.” One game changed everything for him. However, the team took their celebration way too far that it coasted them at the end.

Cormani McClain’s costly celebration

After executing an exceptional play by scoring a touchdown, the entire Gators’ defense immediately surrounded McClain. Unfortunately, this exuberant display resulted in a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, as each defensive player celebrated with Cormani on the field following his remarkable performance. Although the celebration may have seemed excessive, it cannot be denied that McClain deserved every bit of attention and unique recognition for his outstanding contribution to the Florida Gators.

Now that the Florida Gators will be facing the Georgia Bulldogs after coming off a bye week, it will be intriguing to see how their defense performs against them. Holding a player like Carson Beck is no easy task. Hopefully, we will witness an exciting game between these two teams, and who knows, maybe this time Cormani will give the team a chance to celebrate with a penalty.
