Best- and worst-case scenarios for Florida QB Luke Del Rio in 2016

Luke Del Rio is a player who could make or break Florida’s season in 2016.

He plays the most important position in football, quarterback, where the Gators need vast improvement in order to be better offensively. Florida began to find its groove last year with Will Grier under center, but following his suspension, the offense and passing game regressed with Treon Harris.

Harris (indefinite suspension) and Grier (transfer) aren’t with the team now, and the starting job is Del Rio’s to lose after his strong showing in the spring game. However, Del Rio has little playing experience and a lot to prove at quarterback if he gets the nod for the season opener.
