Gator WR Callaway heading to draft

December 7, 2017

Gator WR Callaway headed to draft … Neil Stratton of Inside The League is reporting that embattled Florida junior WR Antonio Callaway has signed with an agent and will be entering the 2018 draft. Callaway was one of Florida players involved in a credit card fraud scheme this past year that ultimately resulted in felony charges against each of the nine players. However, 7 of the 9, including Callaway, accepted pre-trial intervention agreements that would see the charges dismissed if they meet all the requirements of the agreement. This also wasn’t Callaway’s only brush with off-field trouble. He was the subject of a Title IX investigation for an alleged sexual assault in 2015 for which he was cleared of any wrongdoing but admitted to an investigator that he was “too high” to have sex with the accuser. Then this past spring, Callaway was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession along with a 41-year-old man with a very lengthy rap sheet. Callaway plead no contest to a lesser charge of possession of drug paraphrenalia in that case in July. Between the white lines, Callaway was an effective possession type receiver for Florida who had 89 catches for 1,400 yards (thta’s almost 16 years per) and 7 TDs over the course of the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He was also a dynamic return man who had a couple of TDs as a punt returner.
