A year ago Kentucky fans played the long waiting game to see if Joey Gatewood would be eligible to play for the Wildcats, only receiving the all clear after the first week of the season. Now back with his old Auburn head coach, Gus Malzahn, Gatewood has received the green light to play for UCF in the fall of 2021.
The Orlando Sentinel reports the former UK quarterback will be eligible to play for the Knights this fall. Few initially anticipated that Gatewood could receive a waiver to play right away, just a year after he went through the process when transferring from Auburn to Kentucky.
