The former prodigy of the Colorado Buffaloes has had a bumpy road these past few months and even though he’s finally been picked by the Florida Gators, those bumps just won’t go away. Though it’s a milestone for his career, the brutal fans call the youngster out in the hopes of sending a message to Billy Napier, the HC at the University of Florida, or McClain’s new coach.
Cormani McClain, the former cornerback for the Buffaloes, has made his decision to transfer to the Gators after an unfortunate exit from the team of Deion Sanders. While he’s left the negative environment in Colorado, it looks like the negativity is following him around since the fans bashed him on Instagram under a post that talked about his transfer.
