Several of Kiffin’s transfer adds are EMCC products.
Quarterback-turned-receiver John Franklin III, a former blue-chip Florida State QB recruit who left Tallahassee for EMCC after the 2015 season, per Brandon Marcello. Franklin spent 2015 splitting time at QB for the Lions, and one great performance in front of an Auburn scout famously got him an offer to join the Tigers. He played for AU in 2016, but just sparingly. FAU’s going to be his fourth college team.
Quarterback De’Andre Johnson, another former Seminole. FSU booted Johnson after video surfaced of him punching a woman. He landed at EMCC during Season 2 of the show’s run on Netflix, then signed with FAU.
Defensive end Tim Bonner, another Season 2 subject who had previously signed with Louisville and been verbally committed to Ole Miss. While he was at Louisville, Bonner said he was falsely accused of having a gun on campus. He went to EMCC last season.
