Florida loses two defensive backs for season with knee injuries

 

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida safeties Dorian Munroe and John Curtis will miss the upcoming season because of knee injuries.

Munroe tore the ACL in his right knee and will have season-ending surgery. The junior played in 26 games the last two years and was a key contributor on special teams. He led the Gators with 13 special teams tackles last season.

Curtis tore his left ACL for the third time. The senior already had two surgeries on that knee, and coach Urban Meyer said the latest injury could end his career.

Curtis played in 17 games the last three years, including 11 last season.

"I'm confident Dorian will battle through the rehabilitation process and come back a better football player," Meyer said. "John has suffered through multiple knee injuries, and the medical staff along with John and his family will need to evaluate his long-term future in football."

This worries me. I do not like that we lost two DB's in our secondary. Our secondary was basically dead last in rankings. I just hope that we can come back better then last year.  I hope that Urban Meyer gets on these DB's to do a better job.

I think we as Gator fans can agree that it's time for Will "the thrill" Hill to step up.  I know it's early but from what we've all heard and seen from him he will be amazing. At 6'3" and 210 lbs with  better than 4.4 fourty speed we will be great playing beside Major Wright.  I'm sure the coaches have him barried in the books learning the defen ...(more)
