Florida vs. Kentucky, Sunday Roundup: Marco Wilson tears ACL, Adarius Lemons to transfer

Florida Gators cornerback Marco Wilson went down in the first quarter of Saturday night’s game with an apparent knee injury, and did not return — and the injury is as bad as was feared.

Wilson’s father confirmed the injury as a torn ACL late Saturday night on Twitter.

Thx for all the inquiries and concern. Unfortunately Marco has torn his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Wilson himself addressed the injury on Sunday morning.

I appreciate all the support, in this situation I can't sit around and ask why but I can get off my behind and work to be better than ever.
