I listen to various Gator podcasts. Here is what has been said about spring.
1. Espn had Knijeah Harris rated as the number 1 IOL in the country. In their evaluations, maybe they were right and everyone else was wrong. He is running with the 1s right now. He makes mistakes, but is looking really good. There are injuries. He won't be starting. The point is he has impressed already.
2. TJ Searcy is looking really good. He will play.
3. Jordan Castell has an incredible amount of range at safety. When is the last time we really had a safety with a lot of range? Again, injuries is why he is running with the 1s. But, he has taken the most of this opportunity. It is good we are finally getting some speed at that position.
4. The DT position will be solid this season. Cam Jackson has been a monster. That said, he is going against backups. He should dominate them.
5. Rod Kearney is working out at center right now and is the backup.
6. Teradja Mitchell hasn't played as much because they don't need him to. He knew the defense and was calling plays from day 1. He is a smart ILB. Jaden Robinson has been running with the 1s at times and learning from Mitchell.
7. Max Brown is an interesting story. He didn't camp at all and has only been playing QB for a couple of years. He is very new to the position. But, the physical skills are all there. He is extremely accurate. He is learning really quick. He won't start and probably shouldn't play. But, he can't be counted out down the road. It all depends on if he can put it all together. A guy like this is a wild card.
8. Cam Carroll is a physical specimen and will get carries next season.

George Pyle is the only coach that had an undefeated season for UF. Can’t believe he never got in the ROH or got a statue. What a travesty.

I had no clue Max Brown’s completion percentage was as high as it was in high school. Super interested to see if he ever develops.

And they weren't dinks and dunks. If Brown gets a chance he has high upside. I don't see him starting at Utah. But after Utah I'm guessing we'll be pulling someone off the bench.

450? Wasn’t there a video here where he claimed he was under 400?

Reports on Watson’s weight are the equivalent of office employees guessing the number of jellybeans in the receptionist’s jar.

Sure was, said he was around 385. If he moves like that, no way he's at 450. Last season I thought he was down to 420. But who cares. The man for his size can move. Coach Spencer was on podcast last week saying that Dez was first man running down the field in drills. Was giving him good props. Just need to make sure the depth is there for the DL and from what is coming out of camp there is depth......now just how good is it going to be? Hopefully optimistic.

He’s always been very athletic at whatever weight he plays at, but @400+, how many snaps is he good for? Like most Gator fans, I love the guy, but for both his career and long term health, I hope he gets to a better weight.

Ox that's all fine and dandy about the running games. But guess what? The two QBs we had in each of those Natty's could not ONLY throw the ball but they did it DOWN FIELD. The clowns we've got right now competing for "starting QB" isn't even in the ball park with Leak and Tebow. Trust me if we go into the season with THIS group the rest of the SEC won't even bother watching tapes of the Gator efforts. It will be a joke. Mertz AND Miller III? Good god, its like Napier has an agenda to destroy the position. And please, no more Big 10 loser rejects at QB.....
