Florida football lands coveted blue-chip ATH Davian Groce in 2026 cycle
The 6-foot-1-inch, 190-pound multi-positional player out of Frisco (Texas) Lone Star projects mostly as a wide receiver but also got plenty of reps at running back during his prep career. He chose the Gators over the Oklahoma Sooners — who had been at the forefront for his talents — as well as the Baylor Bears and Houston Cougars, among others.
Billy Napier and Co. welcomed the Texan to Gainesville as a late addition to his official visit schedule, swinging through the Swamp from June 13-15, putting the program back into focus for the coveted student-athlete.
"Definitely stands at top three, for sure," Groce told Swamp247 after his official visit. "They're definitely in the mix of where I want to go, for sure."
Groce also added, "It was real positive. It's the best team morale that I've been around, that I've seen."
That sentiment carried over in the following month and culminated in his commitment. As for where he might line up for the Gators, it still appears to be a wide-open case.
"Just being a football player, not having a position, really being positionless," on where Florida sees him in the offense. "Just get me around the field, give me the ball, really."

Groce is ranked No. 47 overall and No. 4 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite, while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 60 and 6, respectively. He ranks No. 36 on the ESPN 300 and No. 4 at his position nationally.

QB of key 2025 Texas Longhorns SEC opponent goes down to injury again
Florida Gators QB DJ Lagway is hurt again. The Willis, TX native has a left calf strain. Lagway, who missed last year's game against the Texas Longhorns in Austin, is quickly getting a reputation as injury-prone. Lagway missed the UT game with a hamstring problem. He also had a shoulder and a core injury during his freshman year in Gainesville. Now, it is his calf. Last month, during SEC Media Days, Lagway told the assembled media, "I'm not an injury-prone guy." Matt Hayes of USA TODAY Sports fears it all could lead to bigger injuries. "Whether it's increased level of competition, intensity of training or just plain bad luck, four injuries (two relatively serious) before the start of Lagway's second season is cause for concern. More problematic: it's not a long or difficult a jump from calf strain to a much bigger problem. Especially since we've seen it of late among the greatest athletes in sports. Aaron Rodgers and Tyrese Halliburton dealt with calf strains in the last two years, and both strains preceded season-ending Achilles injuries. Kevin Durant's Achilles injury in 2019 started with a calf strain, too." - Matt Hayes of USA TODAY Sports Lagway's 6-1 record has Gators fans hoping for a return to prominence, or at least relevancy. But you want a QB that stays healthy. Just ask Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. Each time Quinn Ewers went down over the past three seasons, Sark has had to scramble. Thanks to Lagway, Florida is supposed to be much improved this season. Texas' trip to the Swamp starts a string of road games that doesn't see UT back in Austin for a full month. Some experts are picking the Gators to upset Texas. But that will be more more difficult if Lagway is hurt again.

The group in charge of tennis in the US is starting its first coaching program
The U.S. Tennis Association announced the start of its first all-encompassing coaching program on Wednesday, a little more than a year after an outside review of the USTA's safeguarding system offered recommendations for how to better protect players from abuse such as sexual misconduct. 'At the end of the day, we have to create safe environments for all our players,' Craig Morris, the CEO of the new USTA Coaching initiative, said in a video interview with The Associated Press from Florida.

The group in charge of tennis in the US is starting its first coaching program
The U.S. Tennis Association announced the start of its first all-encompassing coaching program on Wednesday, a little more than a year after an outside review of the USTA's safeguarding system offered recommendations for how to better protect players from abuse such as sexual misconduct. 'At the end of the day, we have to create safe environments for all our players,' Craig Miller, the CEO of the new USTA Coaching initiative, said in a video interview with The Associated Press from Florida. Miller said the USTA now can make sure that everyone who is certified is Safe Play approved, including completing a criminal background screening and being able to identify, respond to and prevent misconduct. The USTA estimates there are currently 25,000 to 30,000 coaches in the United States, and the country's official governing body for the sport would like to see the number rise to around 75,000 to 100,000. That would include everyone from parents teaching their children to the sorts of professional coaches who will be working with athletes at the U.S. Open, the USTA's showcase event that begins on Aug. 24. The effort is connected to the group's goal of having 35 million people playing the sport in the U.S. by 2035. 'The USTA's never been in the coaching business. We're probably the last major tennis federation in the world that doesn't do this. And it's our responsibility. … This is recruitment, marketing, benefits, services, education, certification. What's the future generation of coaching going to look like? We have to start getting high school kids and college kids looking at this as a career,' Miller said. 'This is fundamental for U.S. tennis. For the protection of this game, the USTA has to invest in protecting the delivery system of the sport,' he added. 'And for the very first time in our history, we're going to do that.' In June 2024, a 62-page report presented to the USTA Board of Directors included 19 specific recommendations for how to 'increase player safety.' The report was made public less than two months after a tennis player was awarded $9 million in damages by a jury in federal court in Florida following her accusation that the USTA failed to protect her from a coach she said sexually abused her at one of its training centers when she was a teenager. The USTA also was a defendant in four other lawsuits related to sexual abuse of tennis players over the last two decades. ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002.
