Florida WR Jordan Pouncey receives word from the NCAA about his eligibility waiver
Florida QB Kyle Trask is about to get another weapon following the news about Texas transfer Jordan Pouncey’s transfer eligibility from the NCAA.
On Monday evening, Florida offensive lineman Riley Simonds shared a snap from Pouncey’s own Snapchat where Pouncey said he has been granted an immediate eligibility waiver by the NCAA, giving him the ability to suit up for the Gators for the 2020 season, Swamp247 reported.
Pouncey’s transfer from Texas became a sort of package deal when last year his younger brother, cornerback Ethan Pouncey, also committed to the Gators.
Pouncey appeared in two games for the Longhorns and made catches for 19 yards in eight games. He last played in a college football game on Oct. 26 last year. But he only made catches against Rice and Louisiana Tech.
At National Signing Day last year, coach Dan Mullen said, “Well, I like receivers that can catch, run and score touchdowns. No, a lot of it’s creating match-ups. So what is your match-up advantage? 6-foot-4, you have a height advantage. A guy that runs low 4.3s you have a speed advantage, a guy that’s lightning quick. You’re looking for what are the things — what physical traits maybe create match-up problems for defense.”
Pouncey is from Winter Park, Florida, and was a 6-foot-2 and 185 pound 3-star prospect in the Class of 2017. When he committed to Texas, Miami and Florida were also in the mix.
The 247Sports Composite pegged him as the No. 97 player in the Sunshine State in his class, and the No. 106 wide receiver.
Just another receiver in a stacked WR room.
UGA has every bit as much of a stacked WR ROOM! Only we use our running backs as well. As more than just blockers or receivers out of the backfield! I still think it’s illegal what Florida is doing. They are having Steve Spurrier come in a draw up plays in the locker room.
In simple terms. Florida has a legendary coach NOT on the payroll. Helping Mullen coach every week. That is Spurrier’s offense Mullen is running, not his own!!!! I think it’s illegal!!! Because there are NCAA RULES ABOUT THE NUMBER OF COACHES ON A STAFF!!!!
PS. That includes honorary coaches to!!!!

And not a
This just goes to show you. How decent wide receivers and no pressure on the QB. Makes the average QB look like a hero! Just a reminder. UGA IS ON YOUR SCHEDULE. AND YOUR DEFENSE SUCKS!!!!
PS. I told you that lack of recruiting was going to catchup with you!!!!
King Negan
I warned that lack of recruiting was going to catchup to you! I warned you that losing C Steele and others was going to hurt! I warned you that a coach that doesn’t see the need for a running game would catchup to you!!!!
This is the year it happens. Everyone has their hopes up. And that means a bigger heartbreak than ever!!!! Coach Mullen and the media have you all believing that Florida is bulletproof and Trask is superman! But you haven’t faced a team with a real defense yet. Not even a good average defense! Just watch your games again. You’ll see zero pressure on Trask. That is what has led to your offensive success. Along with dbs on opposing team that cannot cover WRs or tackle them!
On the other hand. UGA has played 2 decent teams and beaten them both soundly!!! Ask them what kind of defense Trask will face in a short time from now! But y’all will have enough trouble just trying to stop our offense!!!
PS. Feel blessed that your schedule is easier than it could have been!!!

Happy for him, but I don’t see him making much of an impact unless he can play DB. The WR group is pretty good.
I am not so sure its the DB’s. Other than Stiner I think most have played decent. I think the problem is they are trying to find the right group of guys who play well and communicate with one another. Lots of confusion and weird zone coverage skeems going on right now. I am not sure if it is lack of preparation on Granthems part or just a group that will not gel. I think we have to many DB’s on the field at once anyway. Our corners are good enough to be on an island. I think we would benefit from heavier packages with DL and linebackers. Concentrate on the run and getting after the QB.
It is called depth in case of injuries.
You are insinuating that Granthem is running zone coverage skeems the majority of the time to get guys more experience and create quality depth? No coach worth a dime would sacrifice running a non productive skeem just to get guys time. Run the skeem that works and then rotate guys. I’m all for creating quality depth but I think once we find the right personnel for each position, they need to start and play the majority of the downs. It’s logical. It seems like we are reaching a scrambling quite a bit right now on defense trying to find the right group. I think it is causing lots of confusion and is a bad look, which is ok. I made the point to further discuss the fact that we are going through growing pains, position changes, and Three key starters being out on defense. I think we will be fine once we find the right unit. I simply would like to see some heavier sets being run on defense. See how it goes. We may not be able to do so because we lack the physical size which would explain why Granthem is not running them.
You make really good points and sorry to nitpick my Gator brother but it’s “scheme” and “Grantham”.
Keep up the good work and Go Gators!
@Mister2bits……..If there is one thing I HATE! It’s a person who makes long drawn out post!!!
PS. Sheesh, who’s gonna read all that? Besides Grantham sucks and so does your defense!!!! LOL

Yo Negan coming from you, that was actually funny. Has to be a first, a post from you without delusional BS. And making fun of yourself in the process.
A kinder gentler Negan?
I just read your other posts so I take back what I said. Too bad for you a Moron can’t change his stripes
@LSUSMC………Yep, their pretty good. Especially playing against teams with little to no defense! As soon as they play UGA. They will suddenly look very average!!!
PS. But I do think Trask is better in the offense their running now. But the reason their looking so good should be obvious. There is ZERO PRESSURE on Trask!!! Let’s see how he looks running for his life, throwing against dbs that can cover!!! They will need a running game against UGA! And they don’t appear to have one!!!
PS. And UGA will probably score in the 30’s if not 40’s or 50’s vs the defense I’m seeing now!!!

Sorry for the 2 PS’s lol. I accidentally put PS TWICE. I was thinking of my PS as I started the second paragraph. So I wrote PS. LOL

College Football Playoff ranking projections ahead of Week 6
1. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (2-0)
2. CLEMSON TIGERS (3-0)
3. GEORGIA BULLDOGS (2-0)
4. MIAMI HURRICANES (3-0)
5. FLORIDA GATORS (2-0)
lol – the #2 team in the State. Well at least the are ahead of UT, for now.
Let’s revisit this in week 9, these rankings have little value now.
Do yourself a favor and do not respond to this troll. He lives for the attention that he never received as a child. The infatuation continues…
@Gator22……..Your absolutely RIGHT! These rankings this early are just silly. How right you are!!! By week 9 Florida won’t even be mentioned!!!!
PS. Keep telling it like it is!!!!
King Negan
Dude. 247 does not determine who makes the playoffs. But if Miami beats Clemson and then goes undefeated the rest of the season, they will deserve being in the playoffs. If Florida beats Georgia and goes undefeated the rest of the season and wins or loses a close game with Bama, UF will be there as well. Then maybe Florida and Miami will determine the best team in the state on the field of play and 247 writers can watch the game.
Too much logic for a Georgia Moron to grasp
Florida Sucks
Just kidding
The defense sure has. No doubt.
Not really. It has just not played well yet. Sucks would be 0-2, not 2-0.
