Cormani McClain’s high school recruitment was legendary. It’s remarkable how much has changed in just a year.
As a high school recruit, McClain was in high demand, ranking as the top player with the highest NIL market value.
As of February 15, 2024, McClain’s On3 NIL Valuation as a Colorado Buffalo was $510,000. Fast forward to today: after spending over a month in the transfer portal, he is now projected by On3 to join the Florida Gators, the hometown team he once shunned.
However, according to 247Sports Florida expert Jacob Rudner — Florida's scholarship roster is full entering the summer. This could lead the Gators to add McClain as a walk-on, supplementing the lack of a scholarship with NIL deals.
He’s going to play for free now? "Yesterday’s price is clearly NOT today’s price."
If McClain does sign with the Gators, speculation about his new arrangement with the Gator Collective and their NIL practices is sure to follow.
