I was worried about this earlier in the year. I'm not as worried anymore.

Sharpe and Johnson are going to be good. Humphries is serviceable, and will be back for his senior year barring a dumb decision or a miracle.

Trip Thurman and Tyler Moore will both be back, and both have been very solid at guard this year.

I think the starting 5, without seeing how any of the young guys develop, will be:

RT: DJ Humphries
RG: Tyler Moore
C: Trip Thurman
LG: Rod Johnson
LT: David Sharpe

After that is where development over the spring and summer is going to be critical.

In order for UF to be decent again in 2015 on the OL, three of the following guys will need to step up to fill three positions: T/G, T/G, G/C

Andrew Mike - T?
Cam Dillard - C?
Antonio Riles - G?
Kavaris Harkless - T/G?
Travaris Dorsey - G?
Nolan Kelleher - T/G?
Drew Sarvary - T/G?

That is of course assuming that the large OL class that UF will be bringing in this year has no immediate contributors.

So as long as there is some development in the off season, UF should be fine next year. If there isn't any development? They are in SERIOUS trouble.

Agreed, and great assessment. I'm more worried about who will play TE next year. We have 4 guys who we can line up at TE/H-back and they can block very well right now, but all 4 are seniors and will be gone next year. We have zero catching or blocking experience at the TE position for 2015. This could completely limit our offense unless someone steps up (Lewis/Goolsby) or we get some big-time, immediate impact recruit/transfer.

The only ones I see that could provide some depth next year are Sandifer and Horton. Sandifer has already got the size (will be reporting in at 345 last i heard) and Horton plays with great technique and should be coming at 310-320.
