The Gators open their season against Michigan on Sept. 2, but the team has not announced Callaway's status for this season.
Callaway has had several off-field incidents during his time in Gainesville. He was suspended in the spring of his freshman year amid sexual battery allegations. Callaway admitted to smoking marijuana in those court documents, although he was eventually cleared of the allegation by a Title IX investigation.
According to court documents posted in May, Callaway was caught with 7 grams of marijuana while he was a passenger in a Mercedes SUV that Gainesville police stopped. The police report said officers smelled marijuana in the car and then found the drug in Callaway's pocket. Police said the driver, Kendrick Williams, 40, also had marijuana.
Coach Jim McElwain said at the time he was aware of the citation and "it is being dealt with."
In two years at Florida, Callaway had 89 catches for 1,399 yards and 11 touchdowns.
