Florida football coach confirms that DL Stephon Shivers is no longer with team
ATLANTA ― Florida football coach Billy Napier confirmed at SEC Football Media Days that freshman defensive lineman Stephon Shivers has been dismissed from the team. "We've moved on there," Napier said. Shivers, 17, was placed under house arrest last month after being arrested on June 1 on a count of false imprisonment (dating violence) following an altercation with a female. According to a Gainesville Police report acquired by the Gainesville Sun, Shivers, who weighs 399 pounds, held the alleged victim down, choked her, punched her, pulled off her weave and threw her cell phone against the wall, breaking it and causing damage to her apartment. The alleged victim also told police the accused blocked the doorway, preventing her from leaving. Shivers denied to police choking the victim and preventing her from leaving the room. He admitted that he threw the victim's cell phone against the dresser, according to the report. A four-star recruit from Humboldt, Tennessee, Shivers played one season at Brentwood Academy near Nashville, where he ranked as the No. 24 defensive tackle nationally and No. 7 prospect in Tennessee. He decommitted from Georgia during the recruiting process and chose the Florida Gators over offers from Auburn, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas and Vanderbilt. Shivers enrolled early at UF in the spring semester and took part in spring drills and UF's spring game, where he made two tackles with a pass breakup. Napier did not have an update on the status of sophomore cornerback Dijon Johnson, who was arrested in May in Tampa during a traffic stop. Johnson is facing charges of two felonies, including possession of a firearm, and two misdemeanors. Kevin Brockway is The Gainesville Sun's Florida beat writer.

'Happy Gilmore 2''s Kym Whitley on the Surprising Perks of Her Weight Loss: 'I'm Enjoying Tying My Shoes!'
NEED TO KNOW Kym Whitley is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 She is also partnering with Zepbound after using the GLP-1 drug to lose weight over the past year She gives one piece of advice to those who may be struggling with their weightActress and comedian Kym Whitley has one piece of advice for those who want to begin their own weight loss journey: Patience is key. 'Please, [even] this hairstyle wasn't an overnight thing,' Whitley, 63, tells PEOPLE. 'Everything good takes a moment — you have to remember to just take it one day at a time.' The Happy Gilmore 2 actress — who stars opposite Adam Sandler (reprising his role from the 1996 film), Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley and Julie Bowen in the sequel, out July 25 — spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about her own recent weight loss, done with the help of Zepbound, an injectable prescription medication that helps manage obesity. 'I've struggled with obesity most of my adult life — I've lost weight, I've gained weight and I felt stuck,' Whitley says. 'Some trusted friends mentioned Zepbound. I called my doctor and when he showed me Zepbound, I was all in.' She also emphasizes that she incorporated the drug into her overall health goals, rather than trying to target a specific amount to lose. After addressing her weight management issues with her doctor, she incorporated the drug into her diet and exercise routine. 'It's not about looking at the number on the scale or losing weight to fit into a dress,' she says. "I would encourage people to look at the long-term goal.' Since losing weight (though she doesn't want to share exactly how much, saying she's more focused on feeling good) Whitley is motivated to consistently eat healthier and exercise daily — even if it's only for a few minutes a day. And she's seeing results beyond the scale. 'I'll be honest, I'm enjoying tying my shoes.' Whitley says. "I have found enjoyment in travel again, I really enjoy that. Before [the weight loss], it was a little difficult, but now I'm enjoying riding a bike. [And] I find enjoyment in playing with my son." Whitley welcomed her son Joshua through adoption in 2011, and shares that prioritizing her health is important as a single parent. "I try to balance my lifestyle for him," she says. "That's why I started on this weight loss journey, so that I could feel unstuck, because I was stuck for a long time." And balance is critical, not just for health, but for her busy life as well. "It is not easy, being a mother and balancing all that. I go on tour, I do my movies, I do my television shows, but I always make a niche or time for my son," she says. "And the same way I make a niche and a time for me, and I do a healthy lifestyle so that I can be a better mother for my son. And that's really what I want to encourage everyone, that's what I want to tell everyone: To really get involved and find out how they can get a better, healthier lifestyle, to talk to their doctors so we can become better mothers."

Suspect in FSU mass shooting that killed 2 to face trial in November
The suspected gunman in a mass shooting that killed two people at a Florida State University campus earlier this year is set to go on trial in November, a judge said Wednesday. Phoenix Ikner, 20, is accused of killing two people and wounding several others after opening fire near the university's student union just before lunchtime on April 17. The FSU political science student, who's the stepson of a local sheriff's deputy, was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted first-degree murder. At a case management conference Wednesday in Tallahassee, 2nd Judicial Circuit Judge Lance Neff said jury selection in the case is set to begin Nov. 3. Public defense attorney Peter Mills, who is representing Ikner, objected to the judge's timeline, saying he is 'still investigating the case' and adding, 'My client's entitled to effective assistance of counsel.' The judge acknowledged the defense's concerns, telling Mills, 'We can talk about what you need' to properly investigate the case. Prosecutors accuse Ikner of killing two people in the rampage: 57-year-old Robert Morales, a longtime dining hall employee, and 45-year-old Tiru Chabba, a married father of two from South Carolina who worked for a university vendor. Five other victims were wounded by gunfire, while another person was injured while attempting to run from the shooting, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said. Ikner was formally charged on May 12 after being released from a local hospital, 'following an extended stay and multiple surgeries to treat injuries he sustained during the April 17 shooting,' the Tallahassee Police Department said. If convicted of the top charge, Ikner could face the death penalty. ______
