2. Which incoming freshmen will have instant impacts?

Florida doesn’t have many glaring holes on the offensive side of the ball that could be filled by true freshmen, but Michael Tarquin could be one option to play immediately along the offensive line, especially as an early enrollee.

William Harrod, too, is an early enrollee along the offensive line and he could be in line to fill in for the departing grunts up front, but will we see any incoming freshmen at the skill positions early on?

Don’t count on it for the running back position as we have talked about that position group being loaded and the receiving corps will be tough to crack as well, but Arjei Henderson will be the favorite to see some time early on at wide out.

Keon Zipperer is a good bet to see the field early on as a freshman from the tight end position as the Gators are losing C’yontai Lewis. Expect him to get a serious look when he makes it to campus over the summer.

And no, we shouldn’t expect four-star dual-threat Jalon Jones to compete for the starting quarterback job despite being an early enrollee.
