Florida Gators prospects talk mid-season review for UF

The Florida Gators are half way through their season and Gators fans have been asking how prospects view the season so far.

GatorCountry asked prospects around the country that question to see how they view the Gators brand in year two under Jim McElwain.

We received a lot of responses from prospects around the country and here are the best answers to how recruits see Florida right now.

 

Auburn athlete commit Tray Bishop-“I love the savageness of the defense!! It’s whole different level there but so far both sides have been balling. And first place in the East? That’s easy for them right now, it’s gone to be hard to put up points on them defensive back guys like that.”

Florida Gators defensive back Marco Wilson-“I think they’re doing great and I’m very happy with how Coach [Torrian] Gray is coaching up the defensive backs. I hope they continue to win the game on their schedule.”

2018 quarterback Artur Sitkowski- “Florida’s season has been going great. Being in first is great I know they will win the East.”

2018 Florida State offensive line commit Christian Meadows-“I think that Florida is turning heads this season. Even in the rebuilding process, those guys are still committed and winning ball games. Florida deserves to #1 in the SEC East. I tip my hat to them for doing what needs to be done but it’s not over yet. Go Gators!!”

Florida Gators defensive back commit Elijah Blades-“I think that they’re playing great and they will continue to get better every week. We have one goal and it’s the national championship and Coach Mac knows what he’s doing.”

2018 running back Lorenzo Lingard-“I think they deserve the wins they have and it’s really good for them to be in first in the SEC East.”

2018 offensive lineman William Barnes-“I think they’re having a fantastic season right now! Also looking forward to heading up to another game soon. It’s awesome how they’re in first place in the SEC East, they deserve it for working hard.”

Defensive end LaBryan Ray-“Florida has been doing great so far, they’re playing great defense. There are getting better and better on offense so they’re on track. I think a lot of them being in first place and they’re improving.”

2018 receiver Warren Thompson-“It’s great for them as a whole to be in first place. I think they played to that standard so far. They’re becoming a really dominant team.”

2018 safety Trey Dean-“I think Florida is doing great right now, they’re playing very well. Also I think they do deserve to be 1st place in the SEC east. #Go Gators.”
