Grimes, Carter both commit to playing in 2020

The Florida Gators received good news on Thursday from two key returning starters.

Both Trevon Grimes and Zach Carter had been absent from the first three practices. Grimes’ mother reportedly battled cancer around the time of his transfer from Ohio State to Florida and is a frontline worker critical care nurse at Memorial Hospital in Coral Springs. Carter tweeted that a close family friend had passed away due to complications from COVID-19 and that was the cause of his absence from the first few practices of fall camp.

Thursday night Grimes tweeted a response to someone saying he will play in 2020.
