After 2 seasons at Georgia, Kimber entered the transfer portal and elected to continue his career at Florida. Kimber played in 1 game for UGA in 2021, missing the rest of UGA’s championship campaign due to a shoulder injury. In 2020, Kimber played in 2 games.
Kimber and the Gators lead USF 24-13 at the half. USF has been able to run on UF with ease for 216 yards, but the Bulls’ passing attack is limited to 56 yards on 39% completions (7-of-18). The game is airing on the SEC Network.
