Six Florida Gators football players could face discipline from UF’s student conduct board for a May 28 confrontation on campus with a local gambler and his friends that involved UF players holding BB guns.
According to the UF Police Department report, first obtained by Jacksonville’s First Coast News, the incident stemmed from a confrontation outside a UF residential complex between the players and a local gambler named Devante’ Zachery, who also goes by the name “Tay Bang.”
Zachery, who is reported to be friends with UF tight end C’yontai Lewis, was upset with the players after losing bets he placed on the Gators’ during their 2017 season in which UF went 4-7 and fired coach Jim McElwain, according to the report.
