  Change isn't easy, but one returning Gators offensive lineman has made a positive impression on the new Florida football coaching staff. Coaches have identified redshirt junior offensive tackle Michael Tarquin not only as a contributor, but also a potential leader. "You're just talking about a guy that approaches everything the right way," offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Rob Sale said. "It doesn't matter if it's film study, prehab, rehab, how you take the field and practice, it's everything's 110 percent. "I'm very pleased with Michael. Obviously, we're expecting big things from him this year, but he's going to answer the bell. He's a stud when it comes to his attitude and his daily approach, how he does everything."

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Tarquin, a former North Marion High standout from Ocala, made two starts at right tackle for the Gators last season and is projected to start at the position this season. But he's not taking anything for granted. Tarquin has taken a methodical approach to his development in his first three years on UF's campus. After appearing in three games and redshirting in 2019, he appeared in all 10 of UF's games in 2020 and started two of 12 games in 2021. "Just being patient and just staying steady with it and constantly working hard, constantly absorbing as much information as you can and always being ready for that opportunity," Tarquin said of his approach. "That's something I feel I've always done a really good job of, and I just continue to have hope in that and continue to work hard and get ready to take on that role." - Gainesville Sun
