  With the season opener two weeks away, Florida's offensive line appears to have settled on its starting five for 2021. It will consist of four familiar faces and a newcomer to the group: Kingsley Eguakun. The Gators lost their starting center and left tackle from last year, but Richard Gouragie took over for Stone Forsythe in the spring and solidified his spot opposite right tackle Jean Delance. However, Brett Heggie's replacement at center was still to be determined as UF entered preseason camp earlier this month. The job was expected to go to right guard Stewart Reese, who switched to center in the spring, or left guard Ethan White, who was the first-team center last fall before his injury in camp.

Instead, Reese and White have stayed at guard with Eguakun (pronounced "EGG-woo-kahn") emerging as the starting center. "Kingsley's really been a guy that's embraced it," UF coach Dan Mullen said. "Really, to me, his approach since last spring is, 'I'm here to be the starting center.' He's really approached it with that kind of attitude and mindset, and it shows. With the mental aspect that goes with it, the leadership, he's embraced everything that comes with being the center and wanting to go be the starter." Florida offensive line coach John Hevesy credited Eguakun's growth and maturation for his progress at the position. He redshirted as a freshman after appearing in two games, but showed flashes during his first year on campus and was selected by coaches to the student-athlete leadership council. - Gainesville Sun
