The Florida Gators coaching staff should feel embarrassed.
Came out flat on the road once again.
Offensive play-calling has been horrendous (and won’t be fixed until the offseason at the earliest)
Defense playing soft as baby shit
It’s not time to pull chute at all, but…
Florida QB Signee DJ Lagway has been named the Gatorade National Player of the Year!
The Five-Star QB adds one of the most prestigious accolades to cap off his historic senior season 🐊
Yep. Biggest reason Billy Napier needs to hire an OC is for himself.
We were promised detail-oriented and disciplined and this team constantly shoots themselves in the foot.
You beat Arkansas if you don’t burn two timeouts to avoid delay of game penalties on one drive.
You…
When Billy Napier took over, I thought the Gators would be sound and not hurt themselves w stupid mistakes…and every weekend, they do something ridiculously dumb to themselves.
SHEESH Florida Gators safety Miguel Mitchell was listed at 6’1” and 203 pounds as a true freshman.
Opens his sophomore spring at 222 pounds, massive 19 pound jump.
Was told that internally he’s viewed as “probably our best safety”
Stars aligning for the Oxford, Alabama product
The Florida Gators hiring Ron Roberts is phenomenal. He’s under-appreciated for how he’s changed modern defense, his experience and relationship with Napier and Austin Armstrong is huge as well.
Massive fan of the hire.
Florida Gators EDGE Princely Umanmielen has a pass-rush win rate of 30.8% per PFF.
1st for Power 5 defenders with 50+ pass rush attempts. Still 1st if you drop the qualifier down to 25 attempts.
He’s got a 56.5% win rate if you exclude RPO, quick game, screens, and PA rollouts…
Anthony Richardson has gone 41/77 with 423 yards, 0 passing TDs, and 4 INTs this season.
All three games so far has been home.
If he struggles that much in Gainesville I’m genuinely concerned with how he’ll look this coming Saturday in Tennessee.
This kind of post is why I always say that fans, media, so many people can bash and hate on Billy Napier but he genuinely does have a lot of guys in that locker room that are 100% bought in to him and this turnaround.
Trevor Etienne had 82 rushing yards last night. Per PFF, 81 of those yards came after contact.
Montrell Johnson had 85 rushing yards. 68 of them came after contact.
Florida Gators running backs came to play last night, no doubt about that one.
Bears DT Gervon Dexter repping the Iron Mike throwback at UF Pro Day. He’s more interesting than anything happening on the field here. Had never seen snow before moving to Chicago.
BREAKING: Former Florida OL Richie Leonard has Committed to Florida State, he tells
@on3sports
The 6’3 310 OL started all 12 games for the Gators this season
Will have 1 year of eligibility remaining
If I’m the Florida Gators I’m looking into the transfer portal for names that can step in and contribute on day one, you lost the luxury of asking for patience.
OT Monroe Mills
DL Walter Nolen
WR Raylen Sharpe
WR Raymond Cottrell
WR Juice Wells
DL Joey Slackman
WR Kris Mitchell
Every time Florida Gators TEs Arlis Boardingham and Hayden Hansen touched the ball on offense in 2023.
The RS freshman duo combined for:
38 catches
439 receiving yards
6 receiving touchdowns
I was going to say something cheesy about outkicking my coverage or getting a commit or a first overall pick but instead, just going to say some personal news tonight:
Florida Gators fans, how would you feel if this was the 2023 secondary?
CB: Jason Marshall Jr.
CB: Ja’Keem Jackson
Safety: Miguel Mitchell
Safety: Kamari Wilson
STAR: Jaydon Hill or Sharif Denson
Per PFF, Florida Gators EDGE Princely Umanmielen has a pass-rush win rate of 25.5%.
1st for Power 5 pass-rushers with 50+ pass rush attempts. 2nd if you drop the qualifier down to 25 attempts.
He’s got a 50% win rate if you exclude RPO, quick game, screens, and PA rollouts
The strides Jordan Castell made this season were awesome. Had to handle more than most upperclassmen as a true freshman and improved as the year went on.
Excited to see what’s next in his development.
The Florida Gators are really going to have the best safety duo in college football next season in Rashad Torrence II and Trey Dean with another year together and in Patrick Toney’s defense
Calais Campbell on NFL Network right now, “That Dexter kid from Florida? Whew. Big and athletic, can MOVE. Very impressive, he made a fan out of me today.”
@GervonDexter
is impressing fans, media, players, and most importantly NFL teams.
Florida Gators IDL Cam Jackson has answered the question of whether or not he can perform at the SEC level.
Jackson is 4th in the nation with 17 run stops (gain of 3 yards or less) according to PFF
Also 2nd in the country (among qualifiers) with a run stop percentage of 18.5%
Anthony Richardson had just turned 21 when he was drafted with 3 years in college, 1 starting.
Joe Milton turns 24 next week with 6 years in college and only 1 year where he was the starter.
Milton would be 28 when extension time comes around, AR will be…Milton’s current age.
It baffles me as a former NFL Scout where this narrative is coming from that Joe Milton III is ‘so raw’ and a supposed ‘later round prospect’ when last year, the football world embraced Anthony Richardson as a supposed ‘franchise QB,’ and he defines ‘raw’ in the dictionary.
Florida Gators highest-graded returning player at every position per PFF:
QB: Graham Mertz
RB: Montrell Johnson
WR: Eugene Wilson III
TE: Arlis Boardingham
OT: Austin Barber
IOL: Jake Slaughter
IDL: Cam Jackson
EDGE: Tyreak Sapp
LB: Shemar James
CB: Devin Moore
S: Jordan Castell
Just when I thought I couldn’t like UCF S Richie Grant any more he walked up to an NFL Network production guy, introduces himself, and asked for an NFL Network subscription. He then helped some staff at the
@seniorbowl
roll supplies inside.
The Florida Gators now have 14 commits in the 2024 recruiting class.
FIVE of them are from the state of Georgia.
Billy Napier going into Kirby Smart’s state and taking talent at will
BREAKING: Class of 2024 DL Michai Boireau tells me he has Committed to Florida!

“Gainesville I’m home baby!”
The outside release, climbing the ladder, highpointing the ball.
Florida WR Trevon Grimes (

) is one of the best big-bodied threats in the 2021 NFL Draft. Looking forward to seeing him in one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl.

Florida Gators RB Trevor Etienne has entered the transfer portal.
Treyaun Webb will be expected to pick up some of those reps, here's every Treyaun Webb touch this season.
According to 247s Class Calculator, if both Dijon Johnson and Bryce Thornton commit to the Gators today then the Florida Gators will have the
#8
class in the nation for 2023.
Four guys who have been putting out great film this season.
Richie Leonard IV has been arguably the best offensive lineman on the team
Caleb Douglas doesn’t have gaudy numbers but has gotten open and come up in crucial moments
Scooby Williams has made one of the biggest…
Per his Instagram, Florida Gators EDGE Princely Umanmielen has been invited to both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl.
Princely’s emerged as one of the best edge defenders in college football this season, going to hear his name called early on Draft weekend
I tweeted Kamari cleaned out his locker because it’s what I was told. Kamar Wilcoxson is the one that cleaned out his locker.
I jumped the gun, was wrong. Nature of the beast, I’ll be better next time. Y’all have a good night
In 2020, O’Cyrus Torrence had the 6th best pass-blocking grade in college football.
In 2021, he was the 23rd best run-blocker in college football.
I’ve been told that he could bench press 550 pounds multiple times.
Billy Napier brought a FREAK to the Florida Gators.
In 2021, Florida CBs Avery Helm and Jason Marshall Jr. gave up a combined:
37 catches on 85 targets
403 yards
2 TDs
2 PBUs
1 INT
61.1 passer rating
Dangerous duo heading into the 2022 season
I had my doubts about making the move from outside CB to STAR but man, Jaydon Hill deserves all of the flowers.
Just an exceptional job to transition to the second-most difficult position on the field.
Absolute props to
@_jhill5
