Texas LB De’Gabriel Floyd remaining engaged despite not playing

During practice, Texas Longhorns freshman linebacker is with his teammates. On gamedays, he’s out on the field with him.

Unfortunately for Floyd, he’s not doing so in pads, as he Longhorns medical staff decided in April to hold him out this season as a result of a spinal stenosis diagnosis. Floyd was dealing with stinger issues dating back to high school and was unable to participate in full-contact drills.

On Wednesday, head coach Tom Herman provided an update on Floyd.

“He’s doing great,” Herman said. “He’s at practice every day. He’s a full participant with his team.
