While Florida won’t enter the 2020-21 season with the expectations of last year’s No. 6 preseason squad, the team — and its players — will still face an uphill battle to “reduce the noise” this winter.
The SEC announced on Wednesday Gators junior forward Keyontae Johnson was voted the Preseason Southeastern Conference Player of the Year by league members and national media members. Florida’s All-SEC talent notched an even 14 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 31 contests last season. He also recorded his second-straight season with 38 thefts and registered 10 blocks on the defensive end.
