Florida Gators Without RB Montrell Johnson Jr Against Kentucky
The Florida Gators (3-3, 1-2 SEC) will be without their top running back, Montrell Johnson Jr., for Saturday’s game against Kentucky (3-3, 1-3).
He was initially listed as questionable this week before being demoted to out.
Johnson sustained a lower-body injury last week in the 23-17 overtime road loss to Tennessee. It knocks him out for Saturday, but head coach Billy Napier announced on Monday that Johnson would not miss an extended period of time.
In the loss to the Volunteers, Johnson rushed for 85 yards on 12 carries. For the season as a whole, he’s rushed for 373 yards and four touchdowns. These season stats are both first among Gators running backs.
While it’s certainly an unideal situation to be in, the Gators have other effective options in the running game.
Running bacls Treyaun Webb, Ja’Kobi Jackson and Jadan Baugh are all available this week.
Webb will be in action for the first time since the 45-28 win over Mississippi State on Sept. 21. He’s rushed for 93 yards on 31 carries (4.4 yards per carry) with a rushing touchdown this season.
Jackson doesn’t get a lot of carries per game, but outside of the Tennessee game, he’s made those carries count. He’s rushed for 109 yards on 19 carries, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He’s also shown effectiveness in the red zone with three touchdowns this season.
Baugh has slowly seen this action on the field increase as the season has gone on. He saw a season-high 12 carries against Tennessee, though he only rushed for 25 yards. Kentucky’s rush defense is the third-best in the SEC, just behind Tennessee, so we’ll see how he performs this time around.
Quarterback D.J. Lagway is also the starter now. This could also help shake up the running game.
Florida returns to the field next week in The Swamp for homecoming against Kentucky, which is set for a 7:45 start with television coverage on SEC Network.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.
