Florida Gators linebacker Shemar James is itching to get out on the field and prove the doubters wrong after his 2023 season was cut short by injury.
“It’s disrespect," said James when asked about the prediction. "We’re the University of Florida, a national brand. We see that as disrespect. But we can only prove ourselves right. It’s not about the naysayers. It’s about what we can put on that field and put on film and show.”
“It’s been a minute," James said when asked about his time away. "Like you say 10 months, it feels like two years. I’ve been antsy. I’ve been attacking practice each and every day with my guys and like I said August 31, I’m ready to get back in there, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and make something shake, for sure.”, and James likes what he sees from his teammates as they prepare to take on one of their in-state rivals.
James is pleased with what he sees from the Gators' defense and how he's improved while working back from injury.
