Florida football is not yet showing itself to be a quick rebuild

The Florida football program has spent the offseason stubbornly refusing to reveal itself to be a quick rebuild.

In the new transfer portal era, some teams have reinvented themselves quickly through transfers. Michigan State from a year ago is a good example.

UF to date has landed six players from the portal. Three came from Billy Napier’s former school of Louisiana: a likely one-year rental in O’Cyrus Torrence, Montrell Johnson, and quasi-project Kamryn Waites (he’s not refined enough to be a major contributor this year). The others are potential starter at corner Jalen Kimber, replacement-level backup QB Jack Miller, and much-needed slot WR Ricky Pearsall.
