A Note on Asa Turner

After reportedly returning for his seventh season of college football, safety Asa Turner will no longer play college football, Napier confirmed Tuesday.

" Asa is transitioning out of football. He's had really three years of significant injuries in college football," Napier said. "I actually met with Asa this morning. Look, Asa did a great job when he got here and was a really big contributor early in the season. Got injured and then hasn't quite been the same guy, if you really look at Washington the last couple of years.

"Asa contributed to our team last year. Very thankful for the way he approached being a teammate, his attitude. But he's at a point where he's not going to play."

Turner missed 12 of Florida's 13 games a year ago due to a lower-body injury suffered in the season-opening loss to Miami, the latest injury in what was an injury-riddled career dating back to his time at Washington.

Napier confirmed in March that Turner had received a seventh year of eligibility from the NCAA but that his status on the team was to be determined. Turner underwent surgery in the offseason and was an active participant in offseason workouts.

Upcoming Schedule

The Gators officially open fall camp with a practice on Wednesday with another on Thursday. The team will hold a post-practice press availability with multiple players on Thursday beginning at 11:15 a.m.

On Saturday, Florida will hold an open practice inside the Swamp with exclusive access given to the media and members of Florida Victorious, the program's official NIL partner. Practice is set to begin at 12:30 p.m.
