Defensive end Justus Boone suffered a torn ACL during Florida’s first scrimmage of fall camp on Thursday afternoon, Billy Napier confirmed to the media on Friday.
“Justus Boone has torn his ACL and will have surgery in about two weeks,” Napier said in his opening statement on Friday afternoon. “You know, I would tell you this is one of the more challenging parts of the job for me, relative to having a great relationship with a young man and then observing him work, and change his life as a person and as a football player. And, not just a production on the field that Boone brings to our team, but more importantly his presence as a leader.
