The Gators start 2008 having to replace last season's starting fullback. They spent a great deal of time recruiting the position for the 2008 class and ended up better than they ever thought they would when Buford (GA) fullback T.J. Pridemore (6-2, 240) decided he wanted to be a Gator. Pridemore has a lot to learn in the Gators offense but he has jumped right in with a little help from some of the veterans on the Gator squad.

Few linemen have ever arrived at Florida with the hype of Matt Patchan. A US Army All-American out of Seffner Armwood, Patchan shunned Miami, where his dad played college football for the Gators, arriving in Gainesville in January so he could participate in spring practice. Patchan had mononucleosis last year and suffered both a gunshot wound and a torn pectoral muscle during the summer.

Lawrence has been move over from wide receiver and Coach Urban Meyer is considering cross-training true freshman Janoris Jenkins to play both corner and safety.

Watching Florida’s cornerbacks going head-to-head with what is probably the best set of wide receivers in the country, you had to wonder why there are so many concerns about the position. Tuesday afternoon they were flying all over the field, tipping passes and making plays.
