Head coach Todd Golden had his work cut out for him to build a roster when he first got to Florida with multiple players turning pro or hitting the transfer portal. After putting together a squad of talented athletes ready to contribute right away, there has been one scholarship remaining that has sat empty for some time. Golden has said that he won’t fill the spot just to do so, and the implication is that it could sit empty for a potential mid-season transfer, or just stay open to leave the Gators versatility moving forward.
While it was looking like Florida would go into the 2022-23 season with 12 scholarship players, a recent name has emerged that could enter that mix for the final spot.
