This was the class that ideally would have pushed us over THEE hump over the past two seasons but here we are. Let’s see just look at it again: 4* CB - Chris Steele (42 overall) 4* CB - Kaiir Elam (48th) 4* DE - Khris Bogle (71st) 4* LB - Ty’Ron Hopper (88th) 4* TE - Keon Zipperer (105th) 4* LB - Mohamoud Diabate (109th) 4* LB - Diwun Black (140th) 4* OT - Deyavie Hammond (251st) 4* RB - Nay’quan Wright (252nd) 4* LB - Lloyd Summerall (253nd) 4* DT - Jaelin Humphries (277th) 4* OT - Mike Tarquin (290th) 4* CB - Jayden Hill (314th) 4* QB - Jalon Jones (321st) 4* OT - Wadrick Wilson (362nd) 4* OT - William Harrod (417th) 3* CB - Chester Kimbrough (447th) 3* WR - Dionte Marks (476th) 3* OL - Riley Simonds (507th) 3* WR - Ja’Markis Weston (557th) 3* C - Kingsley Eguakan (680th) 3* LB - Josiah Pierre (706th) 3* WR - Trent Whittemore (780th) 3* OL - Ethan White (780th)
Only 2 All SEC guys so far (White, Elam) 2 player drafted so far (Elam, Diabate vis Utah) Only 8 will finish their career as a Gator (Elam, Zip, Weston, Simonds, Hill, Harrod, Eguakan)
Heck, I though Harrod, Weston, and Simonds were long gone (sure haven't seen them on the field), so no worries!
if they havent gotten pushed out yet, I’m left to assume they’re great locker room/veteran players to have around. Can’t fault the coaches there if that’s a/the reason
bro i was actually shocked he transferred out too!! He repped UF like his life depended on it but unfortunately it just didnt work out here for him. If he turns into a player on the field at Nebraska, they are gonna LOOOOOVE him i wonder what didnt click for him at UF
Hopper is one of the top returning SEC LBers according to PFF. He was a PFF first team All-SEC selection last year. Top 10 returning linebackers in college football for the 2023 season | College Football | PFF
only 10 of those guys started games at UF (Elam, Zip, Diabate, Hopper, White, Tarquin, Whittemore, Wright, Hill, Eguakan)
IMO he just lacked the athleticism needed, and I think the staff was honest with him in that regard. Great kid, he will be successful beyond football
Hi Bobby, thank you and I mean NO DISRESPECT to anyone but what you just posted is, (IMO) the reason UF lost 14 games in the last 2 years. Class just seemed to dissolve in thin air.
