Josh Hammond remembers.
He remembers Dan Mullen walking into his Hallandale home when Hammond was a child. He remembers Mullen, then Florida’s offensive coordinator, recruiting his older brother, Frankie. And he remembers how just weeks ago, with Mullen freshly installed as Hammond’s new head coach at Florida, the former offensive coordinator posed a question.
“The first thing he asked me was did I remember when he walked into my house,” Hammond said. “And I definitely did.”
Mullen made an impression on Hammond even back then, and he’s making an even bigger one now. Hammond heaped praise on his new coach’s program with spring practice scheduled to start Friday.
