Florida tight end Cornelius Ingram will undergo season-ending surgery on his left knee Monday.
The fifth-year senior suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during one-on-one drills Tuesday. Although Ingram could apply for an extra year of eligibility, sources told The Gainesville Sun that Ingram’s goal is to get ready for the NFL combine.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Ingram started five of Florida’s 13 games last year and ranked fourth on the team with 34 catches and 508 yards.
This was expected to be Ingram’s breakout season. He was going to be a more of a true tight end instead of lining up as an inside receiver and a featured target for Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
Sophomore Aaron Hernandez is expected to get the first look to replace Ingram with junior Tate Casey also available.
