The state of Florida produces speed at the skill positions in abundance, and the whole country recruits the state for that reason. The Gators have an advantage of being the flagship program within the borders, so when UF has been good, it’s always been in part due to having excellence at the receiver position.
It’s something of a canary in the coal mine as well. If Florida doesn’t have good receiving options, a fall is coming.
The Spurrier era was defined by its quarterbacks, yes, but also a series of terrific wide receivers. Ron Zook continued the tradition, but things began to wane after a couple of years in the Meyer era.
