The fate of Cormani McClain keeps pendulating between good and bad and after several reports of him being linked to Florida, here’s some bad news for the youngster as the clouds start to darken on his football career. After the unfortunate end of his time in Colorado, McClain can’t seem to catch a break since he’s now being claimed as unworthy of being with the Gators, despite meeting with the team along with his mother and agent.
Cormani McClain, the former cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes, was a star during the 2023 season. He was a top prospect in the country who had offers from all the elite teams in the NCAA. But ever since departing from Colorado in such an extreme manner, he is having trouble trying to find a good team. Now that Billy Napiers’ team has shown considerable interest, here’s a superfan asserting his harsh opinion about the youngster.

Ever since his social media beef with Deion and Shedeur Sanders, where he was involved in a back-and-forth between the team, McClain has been termed as a drama queen with attitude problems. Even though he’s been on an official visit to the Gators’ team, the NCAA community still has their set of reservations about him. These are the exact emotions that the ‘MattBeGreat’ channel resonated with as he gave his perspective on the Gators’ alleged new addition.
The host highlighted the Gators’ level of proficiency in the league and iterated how McClain wasn’t good enough. He said, “Florida football fans have a very high standard. Way higher than Colorado and they do expect to get back to those days where they’re winning consistently 10, 11 games per season. I was thinking McClain would be extremely fortunate if a school like USF or UCF, a lower tier team in the state of Florida would go after him but man, oh man, this right here, I didn’t see it coming.”
Later, he took the gloves out and came right out swinging for the entirety of McClain’s credibility as a player, which, according to him, is definitely not prepared for the toughness of the SEC.

Cormani McClain is not ready for the SEC
The transfer portal pot continues to heat up and McClain is anticipating a return to his home state of Florida. Even though he’s been a promising prospect back in 2023, it looks like he’s only been on the receiving end of all the backlash this season. The beef against Deion Sanders has cost him his reputation as a talented player, as fans continue to boo him on social media.
As such, even the YouTuber, ‘MattBeGreat’ didn’t hold back when criticizing McClain. He claimed that the SEC is way beyond his cup of tea and will be demolished when he steps into the league.

His comments said, “There’s no way to sugarcoat this. He’s not SEC material and if this does happen, he’s going to get eaten alive. The SEC will eat Cormani McClain’s lunch like it’s nothing and you better believe me on that one. This young man, wishing the best of luck, extremely talented, [but] he ain’t ready for the SEC. He ain’t even close.”
There isn’t a lot of ongoing support that is taking precedence over the doubts for McClain, but the youngster is determined to prove the odds wrong and make a name for himself amid the fire that surrounds him.
