  05/28/22 - Ricky Pearsall, rSr/2024, Florida, 6-1, 189 (DS#11 WR) + More +

  The numbers don't accurately convey Ricky Pearsall's worth. Not the 48 catches last season at Arizona State. Not the three stars assigned to his high school recruiting ranking. Certainly not the clunky 4.65 time he posted at a camp several years ago. On Wednesday afternoon, as the former Pac-12 receiver boarded a connecting flight from Tempe to Gainesville, his father spoke with The Athletic about why the coveted transfer chose Florida over Oregon, the impact of teaming up with quarterback Anthony Richardson, and why the NIL component of his recruitment is being overblown. "Ultimately, it came down to Billy Napier and his staff," said Ricky Pearsall Sr., who described the daily communication from Florida as "pure and genuine" over the past month. Pearsall entered the portal April 21, though the thought of transferring had been weighing upon him ever since his close friend, quarterback Jayden Daniels, departed in February for LSU.

The family visited Florida's campus in late April, and Pearsall's father called the trip impressive, featuring an array of touchpoints, including a training staff "that's superior at keeping athletes healthy and on the field." It boiled down to an Oregon-Florida duel as the Pearsalls dug into evaluating both quarterback situations. They looked at spring film of Richardson and Ducks newcomer Bo Nix, himself a transfer from Auburn. Whereas Nix was a three-year SEC starter with more than 1,000 college pass attempts, Richardson has started one game and thrown 66 passes. "Anthony has a great amount of potential that we really liked, but he hasn't seen the field as much because he's young," said Pearsall Sr. "Bo Nix has shown that he can produce." - The Athletic, Florida

  05/27/22 - Brenton Cox Jr., rSr/2023, Florida, 6-4, 259 (DS#30 DE) + More +

  Kickoff times are beginning to trickle out for the 2022 Florida football season, coach Billy Napier's first at the helm. The Gators will take on the defending national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, on Oct. 29 at 3:30 p.m., with the game set to be broadcast on CBS. The contest in Jacksonville at TIAA Bank Field marks the 100th matchup between UF and UGA. The SEC Eastern Division rivals first met on the field during the 1915 season, and the game has since been an annual rivalry in all but seven seasons. The game has been played in Jacksonville since 1933, with the exception of the 1994 and 1995 seasons, when the stadium was undergoing renovations.

The Bulldogs hold a 53-44-2 lead in the series with the Gators. A week after UGA's first national championship in 41 years, Napier congratulated the Bulldogs on their accomplishment. While the Florida-Georgia kickoff time may not come as a surprise, Florida's kickoff with another rival has an atypical setup. The Gators will hit the road to face Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 25, which falls on a Friday rather than the traditional Saturday contest. The UF-FSU game will be broadcast on ABC. - Gainesville Sun

  Ricky Pearsall, Arizona State's leading receiver in 2021, is headed to Gainesville to play for the Florida Gators, he announced on Twitter Saturday. Pearsall entered the transfer portal last month, continuing the major roster turnover ASU football is facing. The Tempe native and former Corona Del Sol High School athlete had 48 receptions for 580 yards and four touchdowns during his junior year last season. He was a consensus three-star recruit out of high school after earning 2018 Arizona Football Coaches Association All-6A First Team selection. Pearsall caught seven passes in 13 games as a true freshman in 2019 then had six receptions in four games during the COVID-19 pandemic-affected 2020 season. He broke out as quarterback Jayden Daniels' favorite target in 2021. - Arizonasports.com

  05/22/22 - Ricky Pearsall, rSr/2024, Florida, 6-1, 189 (DS#11 WR) + More +

  Former Arizona State wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who entered the transfer portal this offseason, has announced his commitment to Florida on social media. The Gators landed the former three-star recruit over Auburn and Oregon, who each made his top three list this month. Before opting to transfer to Florida, Ricky Pearsall became Arizona State's leading receiver in 2021 with 48 catches for 580 yards and four touchdowns. Over 24 career games, he has 794 receiving yards with five touchdowns, adding 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns as well. Coming out of high school, Pearsall ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 1,208 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus. He also ranked as the No. 164 wide receiver and No. 21 player in his home state of Arizona. The On3 Transfer Portal Rankings have Pearsall listed as the No. 20 wide receiver this season and he had moved into the top five best players available by the time he committed. - On3.com

  05/19/22 - Jack Miller III, rJr/2026, Florida, 6-3, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Scoping SEC QB transfers: Eleven quarterbacks transferred to 10 SEC schools this offseason, with South Carolina's Spencer Rattler the lone guaranteed starter of the entire group. Here ares On3.com ratings. No 8 - Jack Miller, Florida (from Ohio State). Miller had a chance to unseat Anthony Richardson as Florida's potential starting quarterback this spring, but AR-15 ran away with the competition. Although Miller, a former blue-chip recruit in the 2020 class, struggled in the spring game, he stands to be Richardson's primary backup and considering Richardson's recent injury history, the Ohio State transfer could certainly see action at some point this fall. - On3.com

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: Running back Montrell Johnson followed new Florida coach Billy Napier from Louisiana-Lafayette and was a bright spot during spring practice. He was the Sun Belt Conference freshman of the year and has a chance to see significant playing time behind Nay'Quan Wright. - AP College Football

  05/09/22 - Derek Wingo, rSr/2025, Florida, 6-1, 221 (DS#93 ILB) + More +

  Derek Wingo, the No. 5 outside linebacker and the No. 64 overall prospect in the 2020 recruiting class in 247Sports' composite rankings, made strides throughout the spring after appearing in all 13 games in 2021, though Wingo is now playing inside rather than outside on the edge. "Derek has been awesome. I think he loves football and loves Florida," inside linebacker coach Jay Bateman said. "I feel like he's probably putting some pressure on himself, but I think he's doing it at a really high level right now. His situation is unique - I recruited him in high school, tried to - because it's a very different position than he played growing up. I think he's just starting to feel comfortable back there, but he's a stud of a kid."

Despite having already appeared in 22 games during his two seasons with the program, Wingo has recorded just 17 tackles, of which only five have been solo tackles. At inside linebacker, where he'll have to stop both the run and the pass, Wingo will be required to wrap up in the open field and in the backfield, so there's been an emphasis on improving as a tackler since Bateman arrived on campus. - Gainesville Sun

  04/28/22 - Clay Millen, rSr/2026, Florida, 6-3, 184 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Colorado State quarterback Clay Millen dropped back to pass and unloaded a perfect spiral more than 50 yards down the sideline. Spring game touchdowns don't count for much. But it appears the deep ball, finally, is alive and well for the new-look Rams. Millen's long bomb to wide receiver Tory Horton was a breath of fresh air on a blustery Saturday afternoon at Canvas Stadium. "I knew I had a little bit of wind at my back," Millen said. "My mindset was literally to just try to underthrow it by like two yards and let the wind kind of push it a little bit. It happened to work out really well. I don't think I've played in as much wind as I had right there." Millen - a four-star recruit (via 247Sports) from Snoqualmie, Wash. - appeared in only two games as a true freshman last season at Nevada. He followed Jay Norvell to Fort Collins when he took the CSU head coaching job and Millen entered spring camp as the presumed QB1.

It's no surprise when you consider the roster Norvell inherited. Former starting quarterback Todd Centeio transferred to FCS James Madison and 2021 signee Evan Olaes is coming off a redshirt year. But Millen still needed to earn the trust of new teammates and coaches in establishing a leadership role with the Rams. "Clay is a really smart player. He's kind of your thinking man's quarterback," Norvell said. "He understands how to use the offense and he's just really starting to feel comfortable playing." Millen took another step forward in the spring game completing 22 of 33 passes for 292 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. - Denver Post

  04/25/22 - Montrell Johnson Jr., Sr/2025, Florida, 5-11, 212 (DS#27 RB) + More +

  After a freshman season that many desire yet few experience, Montrell Johnson made the difficult decision to leave Louisiana - though he insists he didn't initially intend to follow his coach in 2021, Billy Napier, to the Florida football program. "I was still focusing on our bowl game and trying to win that. I was focused on ending the season right," Johnson recalled. "After the season, I didn't really think about it as much." With his first spring at Florida in the books, Johnson has set the record straight on his arrival in Gainesville with Napier: they weren't a package deal in any sense.

During his freshman season, he rushed for 838 yards along with 12 rushing touchdowns and was named the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year, but Johnson already was focused on tougher competition. "I knew that I could play at a higher level," he said. "I knew that Florida could be one of those places I could be at." Not that his freshman season altered his thinking in any way. He may have had a three-star designation as a prospect by 247Sports coming out of De La Salle in New Orleans, but Johnson didn't think of himself as a middle-of-the-pack player. His perception of his ability didn't lead to a wave of offers from Southeastern Conference programs, however, with only Tennessee and Vanderbilt extending scholarship offers. Nearby LSU didn't think he had what it took to compete weekly against the nation's best collegiate talent. "It was a huge chip on my shoulder. I felt like I was very under-recruited in high school," Johnson said. "I wanted to come in and show what I can do." - Gainesville Sun

  04/24/22 - Ricky Pearsall, rSr/2024, Florida, 6-1, 189 (DS#11 WR) + More +

  The Arizona State football team is two weeks removed from the completion of spring football and the program has been dealt some serious blows as two of its top players are headed to the transfer portal. The duo consists of sophomore linebacker Eric Gentry and junior wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. Sources close to the program say the moves are NIL-driven. Media covering Notre Dame have indicated that the Fighting Irish are pursuing Pearsall. The loss of Pearsall is crucial because it is perhaps ASU's weakest position. The Corona Del Sol product was the top performer in that unit with 48 catches for a team-high 530 yards. His 132 receiving yards against UCLA was the only 100-plus yard performance from an ASU receiver last season. - Arizona Republic

  04/21/22 - *Anthony Richardson, rSo/2023, Florida, 6-4, 244 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Starting quarterback Emory Jones finally decided to transfer, which opened the door for Anthony Richardson - if he can stay healthy. Richardson looked like a future Heisman winner early in the season when he came off the bench to make one spectacular play after another, mostly as a runner. He might have beaten out Jones if he had stayed healthy. Injuries proved to be his greatest problem, which makes you wonder how well he could hold up as a fulltime starter. Another possibility: Ohio State transfer Jack Miller, who's known for accuracy and a quick release. He earned praise from coaches and players for how quickly he adjusted to the team and offense in the spring. - Knoxville News Sentinel
