Florida running back injured, carted off field during scrimmage

It’s unclear just how bad the injury is, but one of Florida’s running backs went down during Friday’s scrimmage, according to reports.

Running back [autotag]Cameron Carroll[/autotag] was injured and carted off the field at Florida’s Friday scrimmage, according to Swamp247’s Jacob Rudner.

A firm update should come on Saturday when Billy Napier speaks to the press, but Rudner is reporting that the injury was to the lower body.

[UPDATE] Senior transfer RB out for season with injury

Carroll transferred to Florida after five seasons at Tulane. His most productive campaign came in 2020 when he finished second on the team with 741 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Carroll never found his way back into the rotation after that season thanks in large part to a coaching change, but he was the perfect veteran piece to add to a running backs room in Gainesville that has two young stars at the top.

Now, Florida will likely turn to freshman Treyaun Webb as the team’s third back. Ja’Kobi Jackson, a JUCO transfer, could also see more time on the field as a result of the injury.
