Before (or after) reading our Insider Observations from Saturday's practice, check out our Take Five: Football Camp Preview. We go over the strengths and weaknesses as well as break down players into several groups.
The final fall practice to allow a media viewing period was held in the form of a scrimmage in the Swamp this afternoon.
Before the scrimmage, Florida hosted former players and their families in a packed Gator Room. Prior to going down to the field, Billy Napier addressed the crowd, telling them that they are welcome to be part of the program and that they hold several events a year for past players.
Some of those I saw in attendance were Bill Allen, James Speer, Tim Beauchamp, Deac Story, Carl Johnson, Terry Jackson, Brandon Spikes, Steve Harris, and Rodney Weston.
The team looks relatively healthy overall. Those I saw in a non-contact jersey included defensive backs Bryce Thornton, and Aaron Gates, tight ends Tony Livingston and Gavin Hill, and a trio of walk-on receivers - Brian Green Jr., Alex Gonzales, and David Schmidt.
We didn't see much of anything outside of warmups and about five minutes of positional drills.
From what I saw along the line, there were no surprises among the starters. As for backups, Kamryn Waites was at second-string right tackle and Bryce Lovett was second-string left guard.
I credited defensive tackle Caleb Banks for newfound practice energy earlier this week. I'll double down on it today. He looks like he has more energy this week. The same goes for Desmond Watson.
Speaking of the defensive line, Jamari Lyons was out near his position mates during warm-ups, walking around on crutches.
I'll post some video from warm-ups here in a few minutes and then later this evening we should have some Insider Scrimmage Tidbits when it is over.
