Yeah, I'd forgotten about him. That is a weird story and I'm not sure what to make of him. From the Alligator Army web site... "...Del Rio certainly projects to be a more meaningful part of Florida's quarterback mix down the line than Grady does, but he's been on one of the most bizarre trips through college football in recent memory. Del Rio, the son of Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio, originally committed to Oklahoma State in 2012, but walked on at Alabama in 2013 instead. After a season in Tuscaloosa, he transferred to Oregon State in 2014, and was granted an NCAA waiver to be immediately eligible for the Beavers.
But after throwing just 18 passes in mop-up duty behind senior starter Sean Mannion in 2014, Del Rio emerged as a possible starter in Oregon State's quarterback competition this spring. And yet he is now reportedly headed to Florida, where he will reunite with former Oregon State offensive coordinator John Garrett (brother of Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett), now a Florida quality control coach." > On Nov 30, 2015, at 12:48 PM, 'Steve McKibben' via GatorTalk > <[email protected]> wrote: > > There are some on Gator Country that claim to have heard that had Luke Del > Rio been eligible to play this year he would have been our starter from day > 1.
