* Diaz said the team is almost 85 percent fully vaccinated, with some players still in the window from shot 1 to shot 2.
“We will be at 85 percent when that happens in the next week or so - that was the benchmark we wanted to hit,” Diaz said. “Maybe some others will sign up. Today we set the record for highest number of cases in the State of Florida, so it’s real, it’s here. We have to protect the program. Diaz says he worries about the 15 percent of unvaccinated players derailing things with UM trying to get ready for Alabama, adding “We give them freedom of choice (to get the shot or not). But freedom of choice is not the same as freedom of consequence.”
