Marshall was a big-time recruit who was up and down as a freshman.
Henderson seems like the guy who could change after getting some chances, playing in all but one game in his first two seasons. It’s not an exaggeration to say that a school that used to be able to throw to a number of wide receivers is not exactly Wide Receiver U right now. He had a child recently and we’ll see if this is someone who is ready to come into his own and make a difference. He has the potential to be a star and will get plenty of reps at defensive end. Sapp was great in the spring game after getting to school late last year. One of these two (or both) needs to become dangerous. Montrell Johnson will likely be the starter, but there are going to be other running backs who get plenty of carries. This is going to be a team that is going to run the ball and has to be efficient to make the Billy Napier offense work. But Florida has two former five-star running backs (both transfers) who have not yet really contributed. Lee has the ability to make that happen and it was a real problem that Florida tried unsuccessfully to fill with transfers in 2021.Įither one. This is another case where you like a lot of the talent on the defensive line, but Florida needs Lee to have a big year at defensive tackle next to Gervon Dexter. If he plays well, this could be the best offensive line Florida has had in quite a while. Tarquin can also play left tackle, but the point is he cannot be a liability on the offensive line. Now, we will see if he can grow up and play like a first-rounder.įlorida’s offensive line is filled with guys who have played a lot of snaps, but Tarquin at right tackle is going to have to up his game after getting two starts last year. Still, he is being projected as a first-round pick because of his skill level. The sample size on Richardson is not that great because of missing time and that awful game against Georgia. Miller needs to play at a certain level if Florida is going to get back to playing well on defense.
Miller looked good in the spring game, but you could tell he was a little out of shape. Florida didn’t have a backup that could be physical against the run and it showed. When Miller went out in the opening game of last year and was lost for the season, he took Florida’s defense with him. Not all of them, mind you, but most of them. To do so, these 10 players are going to have to play at a different level.

The truth is Florida is one of the “X-factors” in a league full of them given all of the transfers in and out of SEC schools.īut let’s concentrate on the Gators and how they get to the ceiling. I’d say the floor is 6-6 and the ceiling is 10-2. To be honest, that’s closer to the floor than the ceiling even with the difficult schedule Florida has in front of it. However, most of the early betting sites have Florida’s over/under at seven. All but Will Muschamp won at least eight games in his first season. Here is where we remind you Nick Saban won six regular-season games (over/under lines in Vegas don’t count bowl games) and Kirby Smart won seven in their first years.Īnd we also remind you that first-year coaches after Charley Pell (we’d like to forget 0-10-1) have done pretty well at UF. It’s important to note Billy Napier is building for the long haul while also knowing he will be immediately evaluated by his first Florida team. We pretty much know Alabama and Georgia are going to be at the top while Vanderbilt takes its perennial place at the bottom.Īnd that includes the University of Florida which has a new coach and a new way of doing things. The rosters get set, the buzz gets loud one way or the other and all of the rankings come out in the late summer. There are some seasons that look more and more clear as they approach.
