One of the top defensive backs in the country, Florida sophomore Vernon Hargreaves suffered a knee injury during Thursday’s practice after reportedly brawling with a teammate during a tackling drill.

As a freshman last season, Hargreaves, the top DB recruit from 2013, recorded three interceptions and 11 pass break ups in 10 starts. Losing Hargreaves for a long period of time would be devastating to Will Muschamp and Florida.
247 Sports’ Thomas Goldkamp tweets that Hargreaves was injured trying to break up a fight:
Important note: Vernon Hargreaves III was trying to break up scuffle, per sources I spoke to – http://t.co/APrDo2b3H8 (VIP)
