Lemons finding himself under new coaching staff

Sophomore running back Adarius Lemons came to Florida as one of the most highly touted recruits in his class.

The moment he committed following Friday Night Lights in 2016 was one to remember. Let’s just say lemon emojis were everywhere.

But once the hype settled down and he actually arrived on campus to start competing for carries, things didn’t go exactly as many, including Lemons, hoped or expected.

He played in nine games as a freshman, but mostly on special teams. He didn’t start to see significant action until fellow freshman running back Malik Davis tore his ACL late in the season.
