Florida quarterback Kyle Trask has enjoyed a red-hot start to the 2020 season, and could work his way up quarterback boards for the 2021 NFL Draft if he continues this high level of play throughout the season.
Trask has completed over 71% of his passes for 684 yards, 10 touchdowns and one interception in just two games, both wins over Ole Miss and South Carolina.
ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper has noticed, and ranks Trask fourth in his quarterback rankings well in advance of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence – the presumed No. 1 overall pick in the draft – takes the top spot. Ohio State’s Justin Fields follows, with Trey Lance of North Dakota State at No.3. Trask is ahead of BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, who has also had a nice start to the season.
It was clear Trask would be the guy to lead Florida moving forward when he replaced the injured Feleipe Franks early in the 2019 season, and an offseason with Dan Mullen has clearly helped him within the Florida offense.
The fourth-ranked Gators will look to continue their momentum when they travel to No. 21 Texas A&M on Saturday.
