The Colorado Buffaloes transfer, Cormani McClain has finally secured his next home. After going through a tough time waiting for programs to approach him ever since the cornerback hit the portal, his future was uncertain. No matter what happened, McClain always had the backing of his mother, Kaishay.

Hence, as he is up for a whole new program, Florida Gators, he extends his gratitude to his mother in three words in a short 15-second music video. What struck the fans was McClain holding the famous Good Guy doll, ‘Chucky’ intending a ‘coming of rage’ touch to his Gators commitment. 

McClain’s three-word message for mother comes with a warning

McClain, who had been Deion Sanders’ top high school signee last year, is all set to sail on the Florida Gators boat. It was McClain’s agent Hector Rivas of Disruptive Sports who confirmed the news on May 15, Wednesday. Now that it is official, the cornerback wishes to make no delay in thanking his mother. As soon as his Gators’ entry got confirmed, McClain curated a video where he dropped a three-word message for his mother, “GO GATORS MOM!”. Till this, all seemed normal but what immediately caught attention was McClain using a ‘Chucky’ doll as a prop.

In the movie, Chucky is the serial killer who bleeds out from a gunshot wound and transfers his soul into a Good guy doll. As per the claims brought up by the mother-son duo, somewhere McClain’s talents went unappreciated in Buffaloes. Now that he steps into Billy Napier’s program, he promises to create a rage and earn his respect back. Here goes the Chucky reference from the video as McClain gets ready for a homecoming.   

McClain runs after one big dream

The 2024 season will be crucial for Florida HC Napier as his future lies on thin ice. On his YouTube podcast, host Kevin Borba pointed out,  “Cormani McClain is going to have a chance he just needs to take advantage of it. Now the Florida situation is interesting considering Billy Napier is on like the hot of seats like if Billy Napier struggles this year, he could be fired by week seven.” 

Other than the Florida HC being in a compromised position, as per the reports, the cornerback may join the Gators as a walk-on. The reason is that Florida’s allotment of 85 scholarships has already been filled for next season. McClain, who has three years of eligibility left and a redshirt available will be joining the Florida defense with the ulterior motive of “bring the old version of me out and change the narrative of [what] everyone’s thinking of my name, be part of a real and a great program that’s going to impact me at my best abilities.”

Hence, while running after his dreams to be under ‘a real and great program’, McClain intends to transform from the good guy persona to taking up Chucky’s role. Behold, Billy Napier will be lucky enough to have Cormani ‘Chucky’ McClain creating terror for the Gators’ defense.
