Florida is expected to hire Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin for the same role, a source told Dan Wolken of USA TODAY Sports.
Stricklin is said to be on Florida campus finalizing the deal, and the school reportedly plans to introduce him at a news conference Tuesday.
Stricklin is set to replace outgoing athletic director Jeremy Foley, who's held the post since 1992. Stricklin has been Mississippi State's AD since 2010.
