GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida cornerback and projected starter Jaydon Hill will miss the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Coach Dan Mullen calls the injury a “massive disappointment.” Hill, a junior from Huntsville, Alabama, started five games last season and had been slotted to play opposite Kaiir Elam in 2021. Instead, the Gators are left to find Hill’s replacement a week into training camp. Says Mullen: “Just kind of a shame that stuff happens out there on the field.”
