Florida is in the midst of Billy Napier’s first spring practice session as the program’s head coach, and already, the tight end room is getting thin.
Per a report from 247Sports on Sunday afternoon, a pair of young Florida tight ends will be out for the rest of the spring.
Here’s what the report says about their upper body injuries:
Florida redshirt freshman tight end Nick Elksnis and sophomore tight end Jonathan Odom will miss the remainder of the Gators’ spring practices due to a broken scapula and torn labrum, respectively, a source directly familiar with the development told Swamp247 on Sunday afternoon.
That leaves the Gators with Keon Zipperer and Gage Wilcox, a senior and a redshirt freshman, respectively, as the only healthy scholarship tight ends. We’ll see how those 2 guys fare the rest of the spring session.
