4. Trevon Grimes and a talented receiving corps

Van Jefferson, Tyrie Cleveland and Josh Hammond all make up an impressive projected starting receiving corps, but Trevon Grimes was one of the biggest breakout performers this spring.

Florida has no shortage of weapons and Grimes may end up being the most talented of the bunch.

Jefferson led all receivers a year ago with 35 catches for 503 yards and he still has plenty of room to grow. Hammon was second on the team in receiving and may be one of the more overlooked pass-catchers on the roster. Cleveland came to Florida as one of the most highly-touted receivers in his class and has yet to reach his potential.

Freddie Swain is another guy to keep an eye on along with running back/receiver Kadarius Toney who had 500 total yards from scrimmage last year.

Grimes was third on the team in receiving but there’s belief that he could be one of the best receivers in the SEC next season and break into that starting rotation. No matter what happens, Florida is absolutely loaded in the receiving corps and we saw that this spring.
