Report: Florida RB Cam Carroll carted off during team’s scrimmage

Florida fans will be waiting with bated breath after reports of a potentially serious injury emerged from the team’s second scrimmage, with running back Cam Carroll carted off.

According to On3’s Nick de la Torre, Carroll appeared to suffer a lower-body injury during the Friday afternoon scrimmage that required him to be carted off the field.

Carroll transferred to Florida this offseason from Tulane.

During five seasons at Tulane, Carroll accounted for 1,638 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. He played in just one game in 2022, though, suffering a leg injury that prevented him from playing the rest of the way.

Still, he’s been a productive back across multiple seasons. He ran for 741 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2020 and also ran for 516 yards in 2021 and 364 yards in 2019.

He was expected to be involved in Florida’s rotation at running back, where the Gators are very deep. In fact, it was arguably the deepest position on the team prior to Carroll’s injury.

Trevor Etienne and Montrell Johnson are expected to star after serving as a quality one-two punch a year ago. While Johnson has more experience, Etienne might have more upside.

The brother of former Clemson and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, Etienne rann for 719 yards and six touchdowns last season for the Gators, averaging 6.1 yards per carry.

Johnson, meanwhile, ran for 841 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first season at Florida after transferring in from Louisiana. He was a star at Louisiana as a freshman, racking up 838 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
