Florida football can breathe a huge sigh of relief as Lorenzo Lingard gains eligibility.

In January, Lorenzo Lingard announced that he would be transferring to Florida football for the 2020 season.

However, there was quite the speculation regarding whether or not the former Miami running back would be cleared to play. After all, Florida waited 7 long months for Brenton Cox’s eligibility to come to fruition, resulting in the linebacker missing the entire 2019 season- many Florida fans feared much of the same for Lingard.
