You can take us on the go.

Join us right now is our pal Chris Doering, former gator,

former Red Skin Receiver, now an analyst for ESPN

What's up, Chris? He would argue, by the the way I'll speak for you here Chris you're never a former gator you're a gator for life right yeah although I'm not sure I want to claim the five and seven season we had last year but I will.

I'm always a gator and it's been a little bit of a tough run but I'm hopeful with

what Coach Napier's been able to recruit here recently that they'll start to get on a run and maybe get back to having a little bit more of a presence in the SEC in college football in general.

Is there, is there quarterback next year?

Is it Mertz?

Is he's back again?

Yeah, Mertz is back, man.

And I, you know, I, we probably talked at this time last year

about, you know, what was happening with the transfer portal and all. this time

Graham Bursts was one of the least exciting additions

through the transfer portal in the SEC but a lot of people probably had him in the top, in the, maybe the top four, five players,

quarterbacks in the SEC last year.

So I think he was maybe one of the top two or three impactful guys through the transfer portal and to have him back along with

DJ Laguay. He's the highly heralded recruit that Florida signed to the class that is the bridge I think to the future.
