Offensive line will be improved
Florida added two tackles via the transfer portal in Devon Manuel (Arkansas) and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson (San Diego State) that will provide the Gators with the depth they were missing in 2023. Manuel, a redshirt junior, logged 417 snaps with the Razorbacks in 2023, owning the second-best graded run block on team according to Pro Football Focus. Crenshaw-Dickson, a 6th year senior, was a highly effective pass blocker a season ago, grading as the 54th best pass blocker in the FBS among eligible players.
The Gators’ starting left tackle, Austin Barber, battled numerous injuries a season ago that kept him on and off the field throughout Florida’s 5-7 season.
