Some sad news out of Florida today, as Gators offensive lineman Roderick Johnson’s career has been cut short due to a congenital spinal condition. Johnson’s issue was discovered after he suffered a stinger during an April 3 scrimmage.
It’s a devastating blow for the young lineman, but it seems he is handling the situation well. Johnson announced he’s got a special tribute planned for honoring his final play as a Gator.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Johnson, but his health is paramount to his ability to play football. Here’s hoping he has a bright future off the field.
