The injury-plagued career of Jordan Sherit (pictured, right) has come to an end because of, you guessed it, another injury.
Sherit suffered an injury in last Saturday’s loss to Texas A&M that dropped Florida 1½ games behind Georgia in the SEC’s East division.

Sherit’s 2.5 sacks are currently second on the Gators, while his five tackles for loss are tied for third. The redshirt senior missed a handful of games in the 2014 and 2016 seasons because of a variety of injuries. He also missed the last half of his senior season of high school because of a torn ACL
