Florida still searching for its next nickel cornerback

When it comes to Florida position battles, you'd think that quarterback would sit atop the list. It's almost too obvious.

But things are a little different in 2017. With former starter Luke Del Rio undergoing shoulder surgery, redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks showed the right development and poise to take a nice lead over classmate Kyle Trask.

Franks hasn't totally won the job. He'll be pushed by both Trask and Del Rio this fall -- and there's also the chance that Florida will get into the Malik Zaire transfer sweepstakes -- but if a game were played today, Franks would be the guy.
