It didn't take long for Florida's latest tight ends coach Tim Brewster to make a positive impression on the program. Nor did it take long for him to leave an impression on Gators standout tight end Kyle Pitts. "Coach Brewster is a high-energy guy. He has a great history with tight ends he produced in the NFL," Pitts said. "We're just soaking in knowledge that he's bringing and just adding to what Coach (Larry) Scott already instilled in our minds." While Brewster's arrival comes with much fanfare and excitement, it's never easy to lose a position coach when it comes to the players themselves, especially for the first time - although Pitts acknowledged Scott handled the transition with class. "I talked to Coach Scott, he called me the night he accepted it and he was just saying there's things you have to do in life as far as family and stuff," Pitts revealed. "(Then) I talked to Coach (Dan) Mullen and he told me Coach Brewster was going to be the new coach."

It would make sense that Pitts' expectations for Brewster are high, and that's before considering Scott helped turn him into a bonafide pass-catcher in the SEC as a sophomore. The Philadelphia native hauled in a team-high 54 passes for 649 yards and five touchdowns in 2019, meaning it's safe to say he's Florida's leading returning receiver despite the tight end designation. That versatility isn't going anywhere, although Pitts has made his continued physical transformation a point of emphasis in the offseason. "I'm at 246 right now. Compared to, in season I was playing around 235," he said. "Really just getting heavier and being able to be in-line and very versatile outside and in the slot as well." - Gainesville Sun

12/31/19 - Lamical Perine, Sr/2020, Florida, 5-11, 216 (DS#12 RB) + More +

Lamical Perine scored on a 61-yard run in the opening minute and didn't stop after that, totaling 181 yards rushing and receiving with three touchdowns Monday to help No. 6 Florida beat Virginia 36-28 in the Orange Bowl. Perine carried 13 times for a career-high 138 yards rushing at the end of a so-so senior season. But Perine was too quick and speedy for the Cavaliers, as his dash through their secondary on the first series showed. He also scored on a 10-yard run, caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Trask and was chosen the game's most valuable player.

The win means Florida (11-2), led by second-year coach Dan Mullen, will likely finish in the Top Ten in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2008-09. The Cavaliers (9-5) lost their final two games, but still posted their highest win total since 2007. Trask capped a storybook junior season by throwing for 305 yards. Florida totaled 549 yards, including a season-high 244 rushing, and didn't punt until midway through the third quarter. The Cavaliers' offense tried valiantly to keep up. Bryce Perkins threw for 323 yards and four scores. - AP College Football

12/06/19 - *CJ Henderson, Jr/2020, Florida, 6-1, 204 (DS#2 CB) + More +

Junior cornerback CJ Henderson, a three-year starter for the Gators, is entering the NFL Draft. An All-Southeastern Conference selection as a freshman and sophomore, Henderson announced his decision via Instagram on Friday afternoon. Henderson has played in 34 games the past three seasons and started 27. He moved into the starting lineup early in his freshman season in 2017 and gained a reputation as one of the country's top cover corners. Henderson will skip Florida's upcoming bowl game and begin preparing for April's draft.

Henderson finishes his UF career with six interceptions, 22 passes broken up, seven tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles. He missed three games this season due to an ankle sprain that forced him to the sideline for Florida's wins over Kentucky, Tennessee and Towson. In last week's 40-17 victory over Florida State, Henderson had seven tackles and one tackle for loss. A 6-foot-1, 202-pound former quarterback at Miami's Columbus High, Henderson was named second-team All-SEC as a sophomore and traveled to Indianapolis after the season to attend an NFL symposium for players who had the potential to enter the 2020 NFL Draft as juniors. - Florida Gators Football
