For the Florida Gators to have a successful season, a multitude of players will need to step up. The good news is that they did not lose a lot of starters from last year’s team. However, the few starters that Florida did lose were game changers such as first-round pick Ricky Pearsall. As well as losing big names such as Trevor Etienne and Princely Umanmielen to the portal stings as well. However, this is a talented squad, they simply need someone to step up as the verbal leader. With this upcoming daunting schedule, someone will need to take command of this locker room. Despite being a younger squad, there are plenty of candidates who can step up and define this season. Florida utilized the transfer portal heavily, fans shouldn’t be surprised if a veteran transfer helps lead this squad. Most importantly, the Gators season depends on the play of the trenches.
