Video: Jim McElwain discusses first Florida Gators spring practice
Florida head coach Jim McElwain met with the media Tuesday ahead of spring practice, which starts in six days.
Some of the highlights:
- The team will face logistical challenges at offensive line and linebacker with just seven and five healthy scholarship players, respectively. The team may not hold a traditional spring game.
- TE Jake McGee (broken leg) and LB Antonio Morrison (knee), two of the team’s most important players, will not practice this spring, but are making progress in rehab.
- Jim McElwain will not put a timeline on the quarterback competition. Both Will Grier and Treon Harris will get practice reps with all groups of players.
- Upcoming sophomore Brandon Powell will work primarily at receiver after splitting time between receiver and running back last season.
- Practices will be staged on the soccer and lacrosse fields due to construction.
