Gator Country

Was Max Garcia one of the Gators’ best offensive linemen sitting out the 2012 season? If you listen to the coaches and look at the film, the answer very well could be “yes.” Florida’s Most Valuable Offense Scout Team Award winner, along with Scout Team Player of the Week against Bowling Green, LSU and Florida State, Garcia will immediately vie for playing time on the Gators revamped offensive line.

The 6-foot-4, 307-pound tackle started 12 games for Maryland as a sophomore and two games as a freshman, and was one of the most sought after transfers after he decided to move on from Randy Edsall and the Terrapins. It was initially assumed that the Norcross, Ga., native was going to transfer to Georgia, but the Gators pulled a coup pulling Garcia from Georgia, Ole Miss, Wisconsin and Southern California.
