CB Edwards
DE Langham
DE Clayton
LB Jackson
LB Johnson
CB Steele
QB Jones
not expected to enroll:
OL Hammond
OL Wilson
WR Marks
WR Henderson
possibly suspended:
DB Stewart
DT Slaton
DB Huggins
That's over a dozen players that UF was counting on. It certainly leaves them a bit short on numbers/depth over the course of 2019. Obviously if their starting QB blows out his knee then we'd have a significant advantage. And if these suspensions occur then it will exacerbate any injuries they incur during camp. As of today, I think the teams are pretty even on paper. Our roster isn't perfect either with under 80 scholarships. I'd give UF a slight advantage despite the defections/suspensions because they've got more stability with a returning HC, OC, DC, QB, DB, special teams, and our S&C is a year behind. Expecting a close game no matter what.
