On October 19, 2015 the Florida Gators tweeted that they were looking for a walk-on kicker.

The University of Florida, a school that has a Lou Groza Award Winner was openly asking students that had one working and able leg to come and try out for the team in the middle of a season. That’s where things stood when Eddy Pineiro made his way to campus. Fans were so starved for just competence at the position that they couldn’t help but chant Pineiro’s name any time he trotted out on to the field for an extra point or field goal.
