ShareSpring battles: wide receiver
By Nick de la Torre
In part four of our spring football position battles series, we look at the wide receivers. Perhaps the most disappointing and enigmatic position over the past three or four seasons, this should be the most wide-open position battle during spring practice.
Gator fans had hoped that the addition of Brent Pease prior to the 2012 season would give the Gators a more wide-open, pass-friendly offense. While that wasn’t the case last season, the offense should open up more in Pease’s second season.
The Gators only major loss at the position from 2012 is Frankie Hammond Jr. Hammond, who caught 22 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns in 2012. He was the Gators primary X receiver during the season.
