Gators get creative to stay sharp, in shape amid COVID-19 outbreak

GAINESVILLE — Stuck in quarantine, away from teammates for two weeks, Florida quarterback Kyle Trask had to find a new go-to receiver.

Star tight end Kyle Pitts' job was safe when the Gators returned to practice Monday. But UF centerfielder Jade Caraway pitched in during the 14-day layoff, giving her boyfriend some reps while playing catch with Trask.

“Using that as my quarterback and just reading off plays and running them from each side,” Davis described to reporters following Tuesday’s practice.

Florida quarterback Kyle Trask (11) hands the ball off to running back Malik Davis (20) against Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., on Sept. 26. Davis used a chair to represent Trask and practice darting to either side of it while the Gators could not practice as a team due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
