Tuesday marked the first day of spring practices for the Florida Gators, and there was plenty of reason to be excited.

One major reason was the debut of redshirt freshman QB Feleipe Franks, who impressed in his first practice of the year.

However, in the below highlight video, it’s clear there is plenty of excitement around the entire roster as the Gators work toward what they hope will be a third-straight SEC East title in 2017:

With starting QB Luke Del Rio out this spring, the Gators will have a chance to develop one of their young quarterbacks. Perhaps that can add some firepower to a Florida offense that lacked much punch in 2016.

However, only time will tell, but that won’t stop the Gators from getting excited about the 2017 season this week.
