Quarterback Will Grier was enjoying a 6-0 start and a lot of hype with the Florida Gators back in 2015. It all came to a screeching halt when he was suspended for the season for performance-enhancing drugs.

Reports showed he was accused of taking Ligandrol, a substance that although it’s not listed on the NCAA’s banned substance list, is still a banned substance nonetheless.

The confusion led to a number of falsehoods, including a report that said Grier had gained 40 pounds in a year. The figure was actually 22 pounds.

Despite all the hoopla, Grier threw for 1,202 passing yards and 10 touchdowns before being suspended. His presence was largely missed as the Gators finished 4-4 after his suspension.

Now, Grier looks to pick up where he left off with the West Virginia Mountaineers, a team in desperate need of a quarterback. He’ll be tested early too as the Mountaineers open the season against former rival Virginia Tech on Sept. 3.
