Florida:

QB battle is seemingly on going - but the word out of practice has been that Grier is for sure in the lead to start.

RB is in good hands with Kelvin Taylor the for sure starter. Both Jordan Cronkite and Jordan Scarlett are good and will play a lot next season.

WR are having consistency issues catching, route running, etc. That being said, Demarcus Robinson, brandon Powell, and Chris Thompson and CJ Worton have all had good camps.

TE's are excellent. McGee, Goolsby, and Lewis will all play a lot.

OL looking much better than where they were in Spring. Mason Halter can play any position besides center, Martez Ivey is the real deal. Tyler Jordan and Fred Johnson true freshmen that will definitely be in the two deep - Jordan good enough that he might even start if he keeps playing well. They've held up against a good front.

DL has a lot of good players, there will be a steady rotation. CeCe Jefferson will definitely contribute this year. Starters are probably Bullard, McCallister, Ivie, and Brantley, although Bryan Cox, Taven Bryan, Cece Jefferson, and Khairi Clark will all rotate a ton.

LB has been steady if not spectacular. Antonio Morrison is ahead of schedule on his recovery and is a team leader, and Alex Anzalone and Jarrad Davis have stepped up big in his absence. After those three, Jeremi Powell is probably your 4th LB right now, unless Mcmillan finally plays like the talented recruit he was. UF will play mainly 2 LBs.

DB has been ridiculous, and has been the obvious strength of the defense. McElwain has compared it to some of the very good units at Alabama during his time there.

ST is solid - Austin Hardin only missed one FG in a scrimmage Friday. Johnny Townsend is a very good punter. VH3 is returning punts. Powell kickoffs. Team putting a lot of emphasis on these units.

Overall summary - Defense is elite. Special teams are solid. Offense has a lot of work to do, especially mentally, but has shown a lot of potential in spurts. Has not put it all together yet.

Big positive so far - no serious injuries. Just a few dings here and there. Knock on wood.

Only thing I disagree with is Powell over McMillan at LB - supposedly Choppa Dan has quit having mental lapses often and is showing the athleticism that made him a highly sought after recruit.

Good write up.
