» Football: Florida Gators 2011 Depth Chart

This is an unofficial Florida Gators depth chart for the 2011 season after the spring football game. It does not include true freshmen who will join the team over the summer.

Also note that each of the “F” positions are all flex spots. Just because a player is listed as a fullback, wide receiver or second tight end at the “F” position, does not mean he will always line up in that traditional role.

The numbers associated with the “F” position refer to the personnel grouping on the field. The first number indicates the number of backs on the field, while the second number indicates the number of tight ends on the field.

Thus, the “F-21” position refers to the second back when the Gators have two running backs, two wide receivers and one tight end on the field. The “F-12” position refers to the second tight end when Florida has one running back, two wide receivers and two tight ends on the field. Finally, the “F-11” position refers to the third wide receiver when Florida has one running back, three wide receivers and one tight end on the field.

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 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 2011 season.

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