Starting left tackle Stone Forsythe has a very good idea what Georgia transfer and former five-star recruit Brenton Cox is going to bring to the defense this season. He goes against him every day in practice. "We go at it every day," he said. "He's one of those speed rushers that can change it up. He's a great pass rusher. He has a bunch of different moves. "It's a little different than what we've been seeing in the past couple years with Jabari Zuniga and Jonathan Greenard and stuff like that. He kind of reminds me a little bit of Jachai Polite, just with that speed and the get off." - Gainesville Sun

09/12/20 - Justin Shorter, rSr/2023, Florida, 6-4, 229 (DS#48 WR) + More +

Former Penn State receiver Justin Shorter is eligible to play for No. 8 Florida this season. The Gators confirmed Friday that the NCAA granted Shorter's request to waive a one-year transfer rule, meaning he doesn't have to sit out the 2020 season. Scholarship players in the Football Bowl Subdivision are required to sit out one year after changing schools, but the rule can be set aside because of a "specific, extraordinary circumstance." Shorter left Penn State last November and entered the NCAA transfer portal. He landed at Florida three months later. He announced on Instagram late Thursday that his waiver had been granted. Shorter caught 15 passes for 157 yards in two partial seasons in Happy Valley. He was ranked as the nation's top receiver coming out of South Brunswick High School in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, in 2018. - AP College Football

09/12/20 - Kyle Trask, rSr/2021, Florida, 6-5, 236 (DS#7 QB) + More +

Even though Kyle Trask was just "OK" in Monday night's scrimmage, Florida coach Dan Mullen said his starting quarterback has clearly made strides in his development since last season. "He was OK. I don't think yesterday was his best day," Mullen said Tuesday. "But he has improved (his footwork, accuracy and decision making). You're always going to have little off days here and there. I thought he was a little crisper in scrimmage one. "We gave him a little bit more work yesterday than we did in scrimmage one as we continue to build up and get ready to go. But I have seen him improve - his decision making, his leadership, and we're putting a lot more on him right now. He has really improved the speed of how he decides things and just, obviously, which is a big one, his knowledge of the game."

Mullen said Trask has almost become like another coach, sitting in on game plan meetings and offering his input about what plays he thinks will and won't work. "He comes and spends extra time in game plan meetings," Mullen said. "He wants to sit in knowing we're meeting. He wants to sit around. As a grad student, it helps he has a little more time on his hands. He's always around the office. He'll have input just because of his experience and he's played and he knows he has input on the game plan. "On top of that he has a lot of control at the line of scrimmage. He has a lot of freedom to call his own calls, call plays and check in to plays at the line of scrimmage." - Times Union

09/11/20 - Kadarius Toney, Sr/2021, Florida, 6-0, 193 (DS#4 WR) + More +

Back in January, when he revealed he would not be entering the NFL draft, Kadarius Toney said the main reason he was returning to Florida for his senior season was to try and develop into a more complete wide receiver. That mission is being accomplished, apparently. "One of the things I'm really pleased with him is that what I've seen from him is just a real development as a wide receiver," UF coach Dan Mullen said. "He's a guy who was a high school quarterback, started to learn the position. Everybody knows he's a playmaker. He's a great playmaker with the ball in his hands. He's taken such a huge step forward in becoming a wide receiver now."

Toney is one of the Gators' most dynamic playmakers. But in his first three seasons, he was not what you would call a traditional wide receiver. He made most of his plays with his legs - as a wildcat quarterback, on jet sweeps and wide receiver screens. Now, it appears he's put himself in a position to start making plays in the downfield passing game. "Not just kind of a get-it-to guy, which he'll still continue to be a get-it-to guy for us," Mullen said. "But every down being a wide receiver, he's taken some huge steps forward. I'm really excited about that. That's what you want from those guys. It's one thing, this utility athlete, get-it-go guy, but when you can become disciplined and a great technician at your position, that takes you to a whole other level." - Gainesville Sun

09/03/20 - Harrison Bailey, rSr/2026, Florida, 6-5, 230 (DS#56 QB) + More +

Harrison Bailey had to wait to make his first preseason practice impressions with Tennessee football. His initial opportunities had bright spots, according to Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt. "I thought he had a period there where he really kind of shined taking care of the football," Pruitt said Friday of Wednesday's practice. Bailey, Tennessee's highly touted freshman quarterback, hopped into UT practices for the second week after he missed the first week. Pruitt said after Tennessee's first practice on Aug. 17 that "a few" players did not participate and were quarantined because of COVID-19 protocol. Bailey was among them.

Pruitt did not detail whether Bailey tested positive for COVID-19 or was quarantined because of contact-tracing protocol. Bailey's father, Orvel, told The Athletic that Bailey did not test positive for COVID-19 and was in required quarantine because of a high-risk contact. "I think Harrison is going to be a solid football player for us here," offensive coordinator Jim Chaney said Thursday. "He looks to me like every other freshman quarterback I have had to deal with. They are just learning. The ones they know, they play quick and fine. "I am pleased with Harrison as he continues to develop." - Knoxville News Sentinel
