So much for that plan.
Exiting spring, it was thought that David Reese would see increased playing time as part of Florida’s “buck” rush-end position. Now, though, the redshirt freshman linebacker will spend the 2019 campaign rehabbing as 247Sports.com reports Reese sustained a torn Achilles tendon.
Specifics, including how and when, weren’t given on an injury that will cost Reese all of the upcoming season.
Reese was a four-star member of the Gators’ 2018 recruiting class, rated as the No. 20 outside linebacker in the country. The Vero Beach native was the highest-rated linebacker in UF’s class last year.
As a true freshman, Reese was credited with four tackles in two games.
