For much of fall camp, the Florida Gators’ starting offensive line has been a unit that many felt could not experience an injury due to the lack of experience on the second team. It appears UF suffered just that, an injury to a starting offensive linemen.

Thomas Goldkamp reports that Florida starting right tackle
Jean Delance went down with a leg injury in a recent practice. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Delance has been spotted on crutches, but again, it is unknown if that is a protective measure or an indication of something more serious.
The 6-foot-4, 314-pound Delance originally signed with Texas as a member of the 2016 recruiting class. Delance transferred to Florida in 2017, where NCAA transfer rules forced him to sit out the season. In 2018, Delance saw action in four games as a reserve lineman.
If Delance is out for an extended period of time, there is redshirt sophomore TJ Moore or true freshman
Michael Tarquin on the right tackle depth chart. However, Swamp247’s
Bob Redman hears another option is shuffling around the offensive line a bit. Redman reported starting left tackle
Stone Forsythe moved to the right tackle spot in practice and had backup
Richard Gouraige, a redshirt freshman, take over the starting left tackle position.
Goldkamp also reported that starting nose tackle,
Kyree Campbell, is dealing with a groin injury as well. Campbell’s status is day to day at this time.
