The offense, led by a handful of young skill position players, hung a pretty good one on the defense Saturday morning with hundreds of high school coaches from the state looking on.
The stars of the scrimmage were redshirt freshman tailback Chevon Walker, true sophomore wide receiver Jarred Fayson, true freshman tight end Aaron Hernandez and true freshman quarterback Cameron Newton.
We’ll start with Walker, who is UF’s best breakaway threat at tailback now that Mon …

Here’s our look at five positions less than halfway through the spring: Tailback ” Junior Kestahn Moore is the veteran of the group and he’s performing like it. He’s been UF’s most consistent and complete back. Not only is he running the ball well, he’s doing his job in pass protection and catching the ball coming out of the backfield. At this point, he’s the solid No. 1 guy. Moore is never going to give the …

* Tim Tebow is clearly becoming the leader of this team. He’s vocal, he’s emotional and his teammates seem to embrace him. He also appears to be running the offense with much more confidence than last season.
* Early enrollee quarterbacks Cameron Newton and Brayn Waggener are a little lost. That’s to be expected. Newton should still be in high school and Waggener is coming from the J.C. ranks. Both will be fine. Urban Meyer is high on both …

During Florida’s bowl preparation last December in Gainesville, I noticed one day that Chris Leak was wearing a brace on his right knee. I had not noticed one before, so I was thinking maybe his knee was banged up or injured.
After practice, I went up to Leak and asked him about it. He said, no, his knee was fine, that the coaches now were having the quarterbacks wear a brace on their push leg in practice just in …

Even though the NFL Draft Advisory Committee provided information to Smith that he likely wouldn’t be taken on the first day of the draft (three rounds), Smith said he simply felt it was time to leave because he’d accomplished everything he’d set out to do in his one year with the Gators.
“I had my degree, first of all,” he said. “We won the national championship, I was All-SEC, All-American. I pretty much accomplished everything that I …

Several former Gators will spending some of their most important (and most pressure-packed) hours ever on Florida Field on Wednesday morning when they are tested by dozens of NFL coaches and scouts. The draftable Gators will be running the 40-yard dash and various other drills, along with lifting weights and doing the vertical jump. It’s probably a huge day for quarterback Chris Leak, who will have a chance to show the scouts he can make all the throws. …
