The Florida Gators announced Thursday that redshirt senior safety Marcell Harris would miss the entirety of the 2017 season after suffering a torn Achilles on Wednesday.
"As a coach this is one of the hardest things you are faced with," head coach Jim McElwain said. "Here is a kid who has made great personal growth during his time here and has really matured both on and off the field.
"It is tough to see a player invest so much in himself and his teammates and have this happen, but I do know that we will support him every step of the way as he works through this injury.
