Recruits sound off on Florida’s season

The 2013 football season is upon us and your Florida Gators will take the field on Saturday afternoon to begin their quest for a national championship against Toledo.

Gator Country has been talking to prospects all across the country to get their opinions and predictions on the upcoming season for Florida.

2015 offensive lineman Tristen Hoge

“From what I saw at the practice during my unofficial visit, it seems that they are really strong up front offensively and defensively, no doubt. They have definite speed in the backfield and a spot on quarterback. The receivers are dialed in as well as the rest of the defense. I see them going very far this year.”

2014 offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby

“I feel like they will have a good year.”

2014 offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn

“UGA going to beat them again. Go Dawgs.”

2015 defensive lineman Trent Thompson

“I think they can go all the way with their quarterback.”

2014 offensive lineman Travaris Dorsey

“Undefeated! No Doubt.”

2014 linebacker Dwight Williams

“I can’t predict the win/loss record, but I’ll say they will compete in a bowl if not the big one.”

2015 defensive lineman Albert Huggins

“I think they are going to have a great season. The defensive linemen are going to do great with Coach Lawing.”

2016 cornerback Tre Jackson

“I see them having a breakout season due to their talent.”

2015 defensive lineman Ricky Deberry Jr.

“I believe Florida is going to make it to the SEC Championship. If everyone stays healthy, they make it to the National Championship. The speed of the team is tremendous.”

2014 offensive lineman Ben Knox

“The defense is always there if the offensive game has improved, we’ll be hard to stop.”

2015 defensive lineman Kendrick Norton

“I think they will be good, they have a solid defense and are well coached. From what I see they have a good offensive line and skill set to match.”

“I feel like they will go to the SEC Championship.”

“They should make the National Championship this year.”

2015 defensive lineman Michael Barnett

“I believe they’re gonna be great. Still, through any circumstances, they’ll play hard-knock Gator football.”
