When the Gators started their fall camp on Aug. 17, it was reported that four players — receivers — were holding out from practice.
Now, all four have reported for practice and are planning on participating in the 2020 season, according to a report from Gators Territory’s Zach Abolverdi.
On Thursday, Grimes and Carter announced that they would be playing, and Copeland and Toney reportedly ended their holdout on Monday and practiced with the team.
The players (most vocally Carter) expressed their support for the #WeAreUnited movement, and coach Dan Mullen said last week that he would support any player’s decision to opt-out, though the four holdouts never committed to doing so.
Their return to the field is very good news for the Gators. Grimes, Copeland and Toney are all going to be starters at receiver this fall, while Carter is expected to have a breakout season in his first season starting on the defensive line.
Florida is now at full strength with just over a month to go before the season’s projected kickoff on Sept. 26.
