    No beans, ET. I hate to hear "foot injury" because it is so indefinite. Hamstrings and ankles usually give some idea of severity. Foot injuries can be career derailing. That is why I hate to hear about foot injuries with big uglies.

    Not queer, and I don't think you are suggesting that, its just I coached OL at both of my son's high schools and the coaches were calling them Big Uglies. They didn't particularly like it, and when I started calling them Big Sexies, the really liked that.

    It really is. I would hear stories they would call each other that in the hall way at school and they especially liked it when the girls started calling them Big Sexy. Skill guys were coming up asking me if they could be called Little Sexy. I said no. I called them Pretty Boys. They didn't like that at all.

    Dang! Could we have already had Hastings? I'd really like UF to add Hastings and Lyons. Chris McClellan and Walter Nolan both seem more interested in being Gator Bait!

    DTs Gone after 2021:

    Daquan Newkirk
    Tyrone Truesdell
    Antonio Shelton Valentino

    DTs Coming back:

    Gervon Dexter
    Jalen Lee (foot permitting)
    Lamar Goods
    Jaelin Humphries
    Chris Thomas
    Desmond Watson

    Lee was projected in the 2 deep, but injured his foot in fall camp. Unless I've missed it, he has yet to play a down. Mullen had him as questionable since the start of the season. I hope his foot injury wasn't a season ender.

    I honestly don't know what to expect from Goods, Humphries, and Thomas moving forward.

    I'm thinking Hastings, Lyons, and one more should fill the need at DT.

    Thomas certainly passes the eye test, Lee should be fine, Sapp and Boone will also have an impact somewhere along the DL
    I think we get Lyons and MClellan...and then maybe land a plus one late like Jordan Phillips or Hastings

    Don't know how I did it, but left Desmond Watson off the list. He's already playing so he should be good to go by the 22 season so long as he continues to work hard on his weight loss and position skills.

    Goods RFr and Humphries RSo? It would be nice if one or both work out.

    Looks like 3 DTs to fill the need. The transfer portal was good for UF, but we may not be able to go back to the well again for DTs. So far, UF has zero committed although I keep seeing that Lyons will likely be committing to UF soon on his mother's birthday.

    Lee needs lots of snaps this year. Has Humphries ever been healthy? Goods seems to have a long way to go.
