On a recent trip to Outback Steakhouse with the rest of Florida’s offensive linemen, center T.J. McCoy was feeling generous.
“Look,” he told the group of 14, “we’re going to go to Outback and I’m going to order everyone cheese fries.”
At $9.99 each, those three plates of fries, cheese, bacon and ranch dressing cost him $30. But they provided something McCoy, his teammates and coach Jim McElwain claim is invaluable: Chemistry. And it doesn’t stop with cheese fries and wings at Outback Steakhouse.
McCoy said the group also went fishing for catfish recently, with tackle Jawaan Taylor and guard Tyler Jordan reeling in the day’s biggest catches before the group fried them up together.
