Lingard will be taking advantage of the NCAA’s COVID-19 waiver to play a sixth season of college football. A former 5-star recruit, Lingard signed with the Miami Hurricanes as part of UM’s 2018 recruiting class.
After 2 seasons at Miami, Lingard transferred to Florida. Lingard received an NCAA waiver to be eligible to play in 2020.
With the Gators, Lingard appeared in 32 games over 3 seasons. He logged just 26 carries in his time at UF, rushing for 150 yards. This season, Lingard rushed 10 times for 75 yards and a TD, with a long of 20 yards.
Lingard injured his leg midway through the 2018 season, his true freshman year at Miami. In 2019, he played in 2 games and redshirted.
