During his first radio show of the season Florida Gators football coach Dan Mullen confirmed that backup defensive tackle Elijah Conliffe is injured.
Mullen did not give a full status update or specify what the injury was but Conliffe posted on social media that his season was over.
“Obviously with Elijah Conliffe getting hurt that hurts a little bit,” Mullen said when asked about depth on the defensive line.
The Gators have some depth and two returning starters at both nose tackle and defensive tackle.
Conliffe wasn’t a starter but he had been a contributor in the past and was getting a lot of reps in Florida’s normal rotation along the defensive line.
