Florida target Curt Maggitt injured in practiceby Jason Lieser
The first day of high school football practice in Florida brought bad news for the Gators.
Dwyer defensive end Curt Maggitt, the top prospect in Palm Beach County and a player Florida is in the lead to sign, spent most of Day 1 on practice.
Maggitt (6-4, 210, 4.6) is one of the most coveted defensive ends in the country.
Three of his former teammates — freshmen Matt Elam, Gerald Christian and Robert Clark — signed with Florida and enrolled in January.
All signs point to Maggitt joining them in five months. Considering he played through most of last season with a torn labrum, it seems unlikely an ankle sprain would be much of a problem for Maggitt.
