NCAA Approves USC DB Chris Steele's Eligibility Waiver After Transfer From Florida

The NCAA approved USC defensive back Chris Steele's immediate eligibility waiver.

Steele confirmed the news on Twitter on Tuesday, calling the move a "blessing from God."

Steele entered Florida as a freshman as part of the class of 2019. He joined the program as a five-star recruit from Bellflower, Calif., ranking as the No. 5 cornerback in the class. However, Steele entered the transfer portal in May reportedly after the school's inability to switch his dorm during the spring semester. He reportedly asked to move dorms in order to not room with quarterback Jalon Jones—who was accused of sexual battery by two students in April—but was not accommodated until the summer.
