Luke Del Rio named Florida starting quarterback
Luke Del Rio’s roundabout road to Florida has led to a starting job.
Del Rio, the son of Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio, on Thursday was named the starting quarterback for the Florida Gators.
Luke Del Rio began his career at Alabama, then transferred to Oregon State, and then he sat out last season after transferring to Florida.
Del Rio is considered a redshirt sophomore. He transferred to Florida as a walk-on but was awarded a scholarship and will now be the Gators’ starter.
