| McFarland (in the red jersey) will play this season. |
From Greg Auman (Twitter) - The Bulls got some great news this morning (USF is the king at getting hardship waivers). Tight end transfer Michael McFarland, the 6-4 240-pound former Blake High School star, has been granted his hardship waiver from the NCAA and will be able to play immediately. He will have 4 years remaining of eligibility.
This is huge news for the Bulls as they head to South Bend is a few days. There have been concerns at the tight end position with depth and ability. Evan Landi has been named the starting tight end with Andreas Shields, but this will most certainly help the depth chart and add another weapon to the field.
The former 4-star recruit who originally transferred to UF made his way back home and now he will not have to sit for this season.
This is certainly a big win for Holtz and staff. McFarland is a big passing catching weapon that has been practicing with the team, so he is in shape and understands the offense. It won't be determined how much he will play Saturday, but he is available.
USF compliance ninjas at work!
ReplyDeleteNinjas or not, they made it happen again for USF. This is huge for the team this season.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this kid is for real. He is amusingly larger than Joel Miller, but he hasn't cracked the two-deep even though he was much more successful and experienced at his position than Landi or Shields in high school. Hopefully he's not another Mike Ford.
