Some Q&A from gatorcountry recruiting guy:
https://www.gatorcountry.com/feature/florida-gators-football-mailbag-2/
Q: Does Putu grab a starting spot? If so, where and over who?
A: It won’t be at cornerback, but Florida really needs to find a reliable option at safety next to Marcus Maye. Marcell Harris and Nick Washington didn’t do enough to lock down the job there, so if Putu is going to start it would be at safety.
(I'm looking forward to seeing this guy play. He's a big CB, so he could make the move to Safety easily)

Q: When do you expect Callaway to rejoin the team? Do you have any kind of ballpark date?
A: The last I checked on the situation it was still being handled internally within the university but people around the program seemed optimistic that Antonio Callaway would be able to return to the team sometime in the Summer.
---
Q: Are there any walk ons that may scholarships this year? I expect the two veteran QBs will each get one.
A: Florida recently extended a scholarship offer to long snapper Ryan Farr, who’s a sophomore from Henderson, Nevada. At this time I don’t know if Florida will extend any more scholarships, they have some to play with. As always, scholarships are yearly contracts that need to be renewed, so Florida could offer someone like Austin Appleby a scholarship, or even a younger player with the knowledge that the scholarship would only be for a year.
