Florida Gators’ wide receiver Aidan Mizell did just about everything but play tackle football growing up: Flag football, soccer, track, jiu-jitsu, and volleyball.
His mother, an All-American sprinter at UF, wouldn’t let Aidan play tackle football because she just ‘wasn’t going for it.’ It wasn’t until middle school where Mrs. Ebony Robinson-Mizell caved in and let Aidan play for two years, where he was a quarterback.
Mizell didn’t make the switch to receiver until high school, meaning he only logged three seasons of experience at receiver as the Orlando native suffered a season-ending injury on the first play of his senior season.
