The Florida football program welcomed two late additions to the roster Friday, with graduate transfer Elijah Blades and 2021 signee Tyreak Sapp reporting to campus for preseason training camp. Blades graduated from Texas A&M on Thursday and has officiall y enrolled at UF, while Sapp also joined the team after his high school transcript was approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse. The addition of the 6-foot-2, 185-pound Blades could help the Gators fill the void left by junior cornerback Jaydon Hill, a project ed starter who tore his ACL last Sunday and will miss the season.Blades, a former Florida commit in high school, was ranked the No. 4 JUCO player in 2019. He made six starts that fall for the Aggies and missed four games due to injury, finishing t he season with 19 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three pass breakups before opting out last year. Blades will compete with fellow transfer Jadarrius Perkins and cornerbacks Avery Helm, Ethan Pouncey and Jason Marshall Jr., a five-star freshman, for the starting job opposite Kaiir Elam. Blades could also potentially line up at the STAR position, where the Gators lost starter Brad Stewart. - Gainesville Sun

Senior cornerback Elijah Blades and redshirt freshman linebacker KeShun Brown have rejoined the team after opting out before the season started. "Like I said, that door's always been open," Fisher said. "They've always been a part of our family; we want to help them." Fisher said Blades seemed to have good practices last week, but there's no timetable for him possibly playing in a game. Last season, the junior college transfer played in seven games, starting five. He missed the Texas-San Antonio game wi th an injury and also missed the last three games of the season with an injury. A&M, minus Blades, has been steady at cornerback this season with senior Myles Jones and true freshman Jaylon Jones starting every game. "We're doing really well [there]," Fi sher said.Fisher respects the choice made by players who opted out in the summer, just as he respects their decision to rejoin the team. "Listen, there was a lot of turmoil and confusion going on at that time in America [when they made their decis ions to opt out]," Fisher said. "We had a lot of unknowns; you had a lot of young people making decisions, and now they [are making] decisions based off the information they have now." Fisher said the players who rejoin the team have to go through 2-3 we eks of conditioning before returning to the field. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

Texas A&M senior cornerback Elijah Blades announced his decision to opt out of the 2020 season. Blades is the second A&M football player to do so, joining redshirt sophomore backup quarterback James Foster. In 2019, Blades played in seven games, accumula ting 19 total tackles, three defended passes and 1.5 sacks before missing the last three games of the season with a shoulder injury. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SEC announced on July 17 it would allow student-athletes to opt out of the season for h ealth and safety concerns without losing their scholarships or eligibility. - Dallas Morning News
