Gator Spring Updates


Coach Urban Meyer says his wideouts are a little "behind' where they should be at this stage. On the positive side David Nelson, Carl Moore, Aaron Hernandez and Deonte Thompson have looked very impressive at times. Redshirt freshman Omarius Hines is out for the spring and fellow frosh TJ Lawrence has looked good at times but the guy to watch is Frankie Hammonds, Jr. whose combination of speed, hands and instincts have been eye opening.

Chris Rainey showed he is recovering fast from off season groin surgery with an amazing 40 yard TD run in practice where he stopped on a dime, reversed direction and sprinted to the end zone untouched.

Emmanuel Moody is having an extremely strong spring so far and is impressing the coaching staff tremendously with his performance, hard work and skills.

True Freshman LB Jon Bostic is the new little buddy for MLB Brandon Spikes. Spikes is grooming the talented youngster for the MLB position and he is seen frequently with the freshman in tow.

Tim Tebow talking trash? Apparently he is having a ball this spring and he has been constantly razzing the defense. They point out the 5 picks they have on him so far this spring. ; )

What was an issue is now a strength. Defensive Tackle got a boost when Omar Hunter looked over the injuries he suffered last year that redshirted him. Fellow RS Frosh Earl Okine is up to 280lbs on his 6'7 frame and he has switched to DT joining Hunter, starters Lawrence Marsh, Terron Sanders, Troy Epps, Edwin Herbert, Brandon Antwine and the star of the DL so far this spring, Jaye Howard. Five star freshman Gary Brown will join the DT ranks this summer.

More to follow....

  1. Sounds great & the big uglies at DT are sounding real good.
