Luke Del Rio Granted Extra Year of Eligibility by NCAA
In a midst of a spring full of quarterback uncertainty, the Florida Gators received some reassurance Wednesday.
A day after news broke the Gators suspended Treon Harris, the NCAA awarded Luke Del Rio a waiver allowing him an additional year of eligibility, per Thomas Goldkamp of 247Sports.com.
Del Rio will be a redshirt sophomore this season with three years of eligibility remaining opposed to a redshirt junior. A UF spokesperson said the waiver was actually granted last year, per Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post, even though Del Rio sat out the 2015 season after transferring from Oregon State.
