Florida transfers Van Jefferson, Trevon Grimes eligible to play, NCAA rules Two Florida transfers have been deemed eligible to play by the NCAA. Recievers Van Jefferson, who spent three seasons at Ole Miss, and Trevon Grimes, who spent last year at Ohio State, have been granted waivers by the NCAA to play for the Gators, the team announced Thursday. Im excited for Trevon and Van. We appreciate the NCAAs understanding in both situations, and are thankful to the UAAs administration and compliance staff for their role in helping guide Trevon, Van, their families and our coaching staff through this over the past six-plus months, coach Dan Mullen said. Since Grimes played for a Big Ten team, he is completely eligible to take the field for the Gators first game. However, that shouldnt be an issue since the SEC voted to allow players to transfer from a school facing NCAA sanctions to another institution within the conference without sitting out a season earlier this year.
