    The UF Track and Field team signed Kai Chang ( Jamaica) from The University of The West Indies. Kai was the U-20 world champion in the discus (2018). He has a personal best of 211+ ft. That mark would have placed him 3rd at last years NCAA outdoor National Championships.

    If he can now, that'll end once he puts on a Gator uniform haha.

    I don’t know how accurate he would be, but I’d wager he can throw one a long way.

    Maybe he can try the discus if the NFL thing doesn’t work out, although the javelin may translate better.
