Freshman receiver Andy Jean is set to have an increased role after sophomore WR Caleb Douglas suffered a lower body injury that will sideline him for 4-6 weeks during Florida’s week five matchup against Kentucky.

After not playing in the Gators’ season opener against Utah, Jean has appeared in three of Florida’s next four games, recording a career high 30 snaps against Kentucky.

Billy Napier credited Jean’s increase in playing time to his recent practice habits.

“His opportunities have been increasing because he’s been preparing better, showing a better grasp, practicing better, more efficient, more productive, performing in practice.
