ESPN 300 defensive lineman Jordan Sherit (Tampa, Fla./Hillsborough) will miss the rest of his senior season after suffering a torn ACL during a game against Tampa (Fla.) Jefferson on Friday.
Sherit, who committed to the Florida Gators in August, didn’t think the injury was serious after several inspections over the weekend, including one by Florida’s team doctors.
“I went to the Florida-LSU game and they were telling me that it didn’t appear to be anything serious,” Sherit said. “But I had an MRI on it Monday and that’s when I hear that I tore the ACL.”
