» Football: Florida Gators 2012 Spring Depth Chart

This is an unofficial Florida Gators depth chart for the 2012 season before the spring football game. It does not include true freshmen who will join the team over the summer.

The “Buck” position on defense plays a hybrid defensive end - linebacker role.

The column titled “Co” indicates whether a player is a co-starter or co-backup at a position. There is an OR statement listed between the two players who are co-starters or co-backups.

Note - This is strictly an unofficial GatorCountry.com projection of the depth chart based on the pre-spring depth chart handed out and comments made to the media by players and coaches. It is not intended to be an official representation of where players will play in the 2012 season.

Players highlighted in red are injured. Players highlighted in yellow are currently suspended.
