Former Florida Gators quarterback Will Grier is in Morgantown this afternoon, reports Mike Casazza of the Charleston Gazette-Mail, scouting West Virginia as a potential transfer destination.

Grier, who was ranked as the nation's No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the 247Sports Composite out of high school was the starting signal caller in Gainesville this past season, leading the Gators to a 6-0 record and a Top 10 ranking. He was then suspended for a calendar year by the NCAA due to a failed drug test, presumed to be performance enhancing drugs. Grier appealed, but that appeal was denied.

Although he would have been eligible to return in the middle of this coming season, and was presumed to get the job right back (the Gators went 5-3 after his suspension), Grier asked for a release in the offseason.

The NCAA has not clarified, but it is presumed that his suspension would run concurrently with the year he'd sit out because of the transfer, meaning he would be eligible to suit up for WVU - if he chooses Morgantown as his next home - in 2017, the year after current starting quarterback Skyler Howard will graduate.
