In about 20 minutes, the Gators will be holding an open portion of their practice for about 15 minutes. Stay tuned for live coverage and observations.

Some observations: today was the first day I saw light contact.

Linebackers hit and wrapped each other (no taking to ground) while OL and TEs was a lot more physical with each other than the last two.

Rob Sale got onto Noah Keeter a bit for a misunderstood assignment, but Keeter made it up after.

RBs spent most of the time on footwork drills and blocking a dummy. Nay’Quan Wright stands out as he made sure to take most of the first reps in drills.

Kamryn Waites’ size is truly astounding. I knew he was big, but seeing him stand next to the rest of the OL (and then next to me after the drill) really puts it into perspective.

247 recently ranked Florida’s “QB Battle” between Anthony Richardson and Jack Miller III No. 10 in the country. Once again, Richardson looked extremely good today hitting all of his targets with good accuracy. Miller III had a good day as well from what I noticed.

As far as those in black non-contact jerseys, TE Jonathan Odom is still in his and participating in team drills.

Did not see OL Richard Gouraige or DB Dakota Mitchell today (team was in the IPF with the doors closed). I heard someone say they were training outside separately.

Did not see Jaydon Hill either

Thought I didn’t see these three at practice but thought I was wrong (the WR and DL were in corners I couldn’t get to. From On3’s Nick De La Torre:

Dante Zanders, Brenton Cox Jr, and Trent Whittemore are graduating today, per a UF spokesperson. #Gators

Practice video from Cam:

A final observation after watching some of the clips, if you focus on the receivers catching the out route in the video, you’ll hear WR coach Keary Colbert yelling “Outside arm!”

I would say the one negative I saw today was the receivers inconsistently put the ball in their outside arm after catching it or they switched it after initially putting it in their inside arm.

Need to get it in their outside arm to prevent fumbles, but it’s an easily fixable habit.
