And the troubles keep on piling for the young Cormani McClain! The former 5-star recruit stepped into the bounds of college football with all the hype surrounding him as an elite cornerback. He was being sought by most of the top programs in the league by fate’s unfaithful turn, he has now been released by 2 teams in a matter of months.
Cormani McClain was at the forefront of all the backlash by Colorado fans after he chose to give his honest reasons regarding his exit from the team. He talked about how he left because he didn’t want to just “play for clicks”, which heavily impacted his reputation. The majority of the Colorado fans even dragged Deion’s name through the mud for not keeping his attitude in check but fortunately, Billy Napiers didn’t make the same mistake. As per the newest reports coming in, Cormani McClain has allegedly been removed from the Florida Gators.

The Gators were set to be a bright fresh new start for Cormani after the whole conundrum with the Colorado Buffaloes set his reputation a mile behind. Despite a warm reception and a seemingly good start with the team, the attitude problems started to show in Gainesville, which often became a sour topic between him and his teammates.
Reports suggested that his teammates were not happy with his tardiness and lateness since it would land the entire team in punishment. Nick De La Torre of On3 Sports said, “You’re not going to be liked in the locker room if your tardiness/immaturity is causing the rest of your team to have to run.” This seems to be exactly what happened since the rumors of Cormani’s exit are already making the rounds on social media. And by the looks of it all, Billy Napier and his boys have had enough, and thus, McClain might just have to start looking for his 3rd team in one year.
