Breaking down Florida’s 2024 WR additions

The Florida Gators have added three receivers to their 2024 roster including two from the high school ranks and one from the transfer portal. Wide receiver has been considered a priority for the Orange and Blue after losing two starters in Ricky Pearsall (eligibility) and Caleb Douglas (transfer) in the offseason.

“Speed and more speed,” Billy Napier said to describe his WR additions to this point.
