And the hits just keep on coming for Florida.
A mere half-hour after Florida lost to Kentucky for the first time since 1986, running back Adarius Lemons announced on Twitter that he has decided to transfer from the Gators. Not long after that, the father of cornerback Marco Wilson used the same social media website to announce that his son suffered a torn ACL in the loss.
Wilson suffered an injury to his left knee early in the first quarter and didn’t return.
Thx for all the inquiries and concern. Unfortunately Marco has torn his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

After the game, head coach Dan Mullen couldn’t address the extent of the injury, saying only that further testing would be done to determine the severity.
Wilson was a four-star member of the Gators’ 2017 recruiting class. He started 11 games as a true freshman last season.
