Here are notes from the open portion of Wednesday’s practice as well as video below:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Gators coach Jim McElwain had some company for Wednesday’s practice.

Here are notes from the open portion of Wednesday’s practice as well as video below:
- Offensive starters in the fastball period: quarterback Luke Del Rio, running back Jordan Cronkrite, receivers Ahmad Fulwood, Dre Massey and Chris Thompson, tight end Moral Stephens, offensive linemen (left to right) Fred Johnson, Antonio Riles, Cam Dillard, Tyler Jordan and David Sharpe.
- Defensive starters in the fastball period (nickel package): defensive linemen Bryan Cox Jr., Caleb Brantley, Joey Ivie and Keivonnis Davis, linebackers Alex Anzalone, Jarrad Davis and Daniel McMillian, cornerbacks Duke Dawson and Marcus Maye, safeties Marcell Harris and Nick Washington.
- The Gators experimented with a different lineup in the secondary. Harris had a nice pass breakup on a throw intended for Stephens, who got some first-time reps at tight end in the fastball period.
- Brantley, who’s been looking dominant throughout spring practice, got past Johnson for a sack.
- During routes on air in the end zone, receiver Joshua Hammond hauled in an impressive one-handed reception on a corner route.
- In that same drill, wideout C.J. Worton took a spill out of bounds and was shaken up on the play. He was down for several minutes as trainers looked at his right knee.
- In the half-skeleton drill, Dawson jumped tight end DeAndre Goolsby’s route and picked it off. He also broke up a pass to Freddie Swain, who later made a good adjustment on a corner route to bring down the catch.
- In addition to Del Rio and Spurrier, Florida wide receiver signee Rick Wells was at Wednesday’s practice along with three recruits, including Gators quarterback commit Jake Allen.
