The Florida Gators are receiving a little more preseason love than they have in the recent past after winning 10 games last season and finishing ranked No. 7 in the nation. Dan Mullen's team has been picked to finish second in the Eastern Division behind Georgia by members of the media who attended SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., earlier this week. UF received 21 first-place votes in the East, but that leaves them a distant second behind the Bulldogs, who received 233 first-place votes. The Gators received one vote to win the SEC title. - Gainesville Sun

07/16/19 - Van Jefferson, rSr/2020, Florida, 6-1, 200 (DS#18 WR) + More +

Ole Miss transfer Van Jefferson had a productive first season at wide receiver for the Gators last year, leading the team in receptions with 35 for 503 yards and six touchdowns. Based on the work he's been putting in this summer, he might be looking to have a major breakout season this fall. "He is a worker," Mullen said. "He's one of those guys that is constantly working every day on being a better route runner, working on his hands, studying the game, understanding the game.

"Coming back this year, he's a guy that has great maturity to understand and say, "OK, here's the parts of my game that I need to work on to make it to the next level." "Our program is about hard work. And that's something he believes in, so I think it's a great fit for him to be in a program that really has the same values that he has." - Gainesville Sun

There was every reason for Auburn to recruit and offer Florida running back Lamical Perine. He hailed from the state of Alabama. His father Terrance played for Auburn. And, most importantly, he was really good - running for 15 touchdowns in his senior season of high school. But, Auburn didn't offer him. "I'm not an Auburn fan at all," Perine said. "They recruited me a little bit. But I didn't have an offer from them. They told me I was too slow. You can tell on my film, you can tell I'm not that slow. They had their opinion." Perine is a top running back for Florida, now entering his senior season, after recording eight TDs last year on the ground in the air. And it's in his senior season that he'll finally get a chance to play Auburn - the two teams will meet up for the first time in eight years this October.

Perine does not remember which coach told him that he was too slow. But he said it was not something he heard from any other coach throughout the recruiting process. He did have other offers from Alabama, Mississippi State and Minnesota, among others. "I remember those words. Saying they felt I needed to get my speed up. And things like that, and I'll never forget that. Honestly, that didn't stop Florida and other schools from offering me. As for if he heard that criticism from anyone else? "No, that was just something from Auburn." - Birmingham News
