As the Gators search for a new crop of playmakers following the departures of their top-3 receivers from last season, a pair of highly touted freshmen are pushing for early playing time.
Tight end Nick Elksnis will probably unfairly be compared to Kyle Pitts throughout his career. He’s wearing the No. 84 jersey like Pitts, he’s almost the same size as Pitts and his skillset is similar to Pitts’. He averaged more than 19 yards per reception and scored 12 touchdowns over his final two seasons at the Episcopal School of Jacksonville.
Elksnis has been one of the biggest stars of Dan Mullen’s Instagram Live streams this fall.
