McCorkle elected to walk-on at the University of Florida following his high school graduation in 1991 under head football coach Steve Spurrier. He did not play and was redshirted. The team went on to finish for its first-ever ten-win season as they finished 10–2 overall and 7–0 in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play. They were SEC champions and ended the year with a loss in the Sugar Bowl to Notre Dame 28–39.

In 1992, McCorkle mainly worked with the scout team as a free safety. He played in two games against Vanderbilt and Florida State—making his debut against Vanderbilt. The team finished 9–4 overall and 6–2 in conference play and appeared, and lost, the SEC Championship against Alabama. They earned a bid for the Gator Bowl against NC State. Florida won 27–10.

In 1993, McCorkle became a prominent special teams contributor while also being a reserve at defensive back. He played in all thirteen games for the Gators and recorded 25 total tackles and a forced fumble and fumble recovery. He lead the team in special teams stops with fourteen. Against Florida State he recorded his first-career forced fumble. Against Georgia his fumble recovery lead to Florida's game-winning touchdown. He recorded a career-high five tackles against Southwestern Louisiana. The team went 11–2 overall and 7–1 in SEC play. They were co-division champions and appeared in, and won, the SEC Championship Game against Alabama. The team earned a bid to the Sugar Bowl where they beat West Virginia 41–7.

He blocked a punt in three different games against LSU, Southern Miss, and Alabama. The blocked punt against Alabama occurred in the SEC Championship Game set up a Florida touchdown in the eventual 24–23 win. The team finished 10–2–1 overall and 7–1 in conference play. The were Eastern Division champions and beat Alabama in the championship before losing to Florida State 17–23 in their second-consecutive Sugar Bowl appearance.

In 1997, McCorkle returned to his alma mater and coaches as a graduate assistant for three years under coach Spurrier. In his first season as a coach the team went 10–2 overall and 6–2 in the SEC. They finished the season beating Penn State 21–6 in the Florida Citrus Bowl. In 1998, the team went 10–2 again overall and 7–1 in SEC play. The team faced Syracuse in the Orange Bowl and won 31–10. In 1999, Florida finished with under ten wins for the first time with McCorkle as a part of the team since his redshirt freshman year in 1992. The Gators went 9–4 overall and 7–1 in SEC play as they won the Eastern Division. Against Alabama in the SEC Championship, the team lost 7–34. The team lost again the following week to Michigan State 34–37 in the Florida Citrus Bowl which was the team's third-consecutive loss to end the season.

In 2000, McCorkle left Florida and became the defensive backs coach for Tennessee–Martin under his uncle, Sam McCorkle and alongside his cousin, Blaine McCorkle, who served as wide receivers coach. In his first season the team finished 2–9 overall and 0–7 in Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) play. Their two wins came in the first week of the season against Lambuth 32–21 and in the last week of the season against Wingate 31–30. Following the firing of former defensive coordinator Jeff Richards, McCorkle was promoted to the same position while maintaining his post as defensive backs coach. In his first season as defensive coordinator the team went 1–10 overall and 0–6 in the division. The Skyhawks sole win came against Kentucky Wesleyan as they won 54–14.
