Carter's Corner: Callaway Returns to News Cycle
Tuesday, June 7, 2016 | Football, Scott Carter
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – There has been scarce news of late on Gators sophomore receiver Antonio Callaway regarding his absence from the football program.
That changed early Tuesday afternoon thanks to an email sent by Huntley Johnson, who represents Callaway, to media outlets around the state.
Robbie Andreu of The Gainesville Sun first reported on Huntley's missive.
The part of Johnson's message that resonated most with fans and media was his assertion that Callaway's suspension has been modified so he can attend classes on campus and use the team's facilities to work out.
As for Callaway's return to the field, that remains uncertain.
"We are working through the process that The University has in place to reach a final resolution on this matter,'' Johnson wrote. "There will be no future comment at this time."
Once Johnson's email hit the news cycle, UF spokesman Steve McClain confirmed to media outlets that Callaway is "allowed to use the athletic facilities and he will be around the program."
Callaway, who is from Miami, had 35 receptions for a team-high 678 yards and returned two punts for touchdowns. He broke Reidel Anthony's school record for most receiving yards as a true freshman.
