Florida's situation on the offensive line is starting to look a lot less scary than it did at the end of the spring, when the Gators had only six scholarship linemen on the roster.
UF is expected to add a second transfer on the offensive line who will be eligible immediately.
The latest addition is T.J. McCoy, a 6-foot-1, 315-pound true freshman center at North Carolina State who announced on Twitter he's transferring to UF to be closer to his family. He joins Fordham graduate transfer Mason Halter, a two-time FCS All-American offensive tackle.
McCoy and Halter are enrolling in the Summer B semester, which begins next week.
McCoy, the son of former UF All-SEC defensive tackle Tony McCoy, has been granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA that will make him eligible this season. He was an early enrollee at NC State and went through spring drills with the Wolfpack. He was a three-star prospect coming out of Groveland South Lake High.
Also coming on board this summer are seven true freshmen offensive linemen, led by five-star recruit Martez Ivie.
With the addition of the true freshmen and the two transfers, the Gators will open preseason camp in August with 15 scholarship offensive linemen.
While the Gators will still be young and inexperienced up front, they at least have some numbers to work with now.
