Marcell Harris’ injury leaves Gator secondary in question
The Florida Gators’ secondary took a major blow when it was announced that senior safety Marcell Harris would be out for the 2017 season. Should Florida fans hit the panic button before the season even starts?
The Gators started Thursday morning with some heartbreaking news. The team announced via Twitter that senior defensive back Marcell Harris would miss the entire 2017 season with a torn right Achilles.
Harris stepped into the starting free safety role during the 2016 season after Marcus Maye suffered a broken arm. With Maye departing Gainesville for the NFL, Harris was a shoo-in for the starting job this fall. Especially since he had a team-leading 73 tackles in 2016.
