Report: Florida QB Will Grier to be suspended rest of 2015 for NCAA violation

Florida might be without their starting quarterback the rest of the way, as Will Grier looks to not be back this season

The Florida Gators have been enjoying an enormous amount of success this season under the direction of first-year head coach Jim McElwain. However, things might be taking a serious turn for the worse, as starting quarterback Will Grier may not play again this season.

On Monday, reports began to surface that the redshirt freshman will be suspended for the remainder of the season for a violation of NCAA rules.

A short time later, ESPN and FOX confirmed the news.

After mediocrity the past few seasons, the Gators have returned to prominence early this season, even earning a top-10 ranking in the country. This loss of Grier, however, is devastating news to their national title hopes that now actually do exist.

Grier began the season splitting time with Treon Harris, but he quickly cemented himself as the starting man in Gainesville and has done a good job of leading this team thus far. He’s thrown for 1,204 yards with 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions, living up to the hype he received during his recruitment two years ago. Coming into his Florida career, people expected a lot from this young man and he was certainly delivering this year.

As more news of the Grier suspension becomes available, we will keep you updated.

Update: Grier is reportedly being suspended for PED use.
