Report has Florida Gators losing recruiting coordinator Stan Drayton to Ohio State Buckeyes

GAINESVILLE — Florida is denying published reports out of Cleveland that running backs coach Stan Drayton is leaving to take a job as wide receivers' coach at Ohio State.

Drayton is one of three coaches retained from Urban Meyer's staff by new coach Will Muschamp, and is the Gators' recruiting coordinator.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Drayton is expected to take the job. Florida says otherwise.

"Coach Muschamp is on the road recruiting and our coaching staff remains intact at this time," said Steve McClain, associate athletics director for communication.

Recruits visiting Ohio State this past weekend were reportedly told Drayton is joining the Buckeyes' staff, which has fueled speculation an announcement won't be made until after national signing day on Feb. 2 to help the Gators keep their class intact.

Drayton is a Cleveland native.
