Florida’s five most important players in 2019

This morning, I published a five-minute, five-question guide to Florida Gators football in 2019. It’s good stuff for the layman who didn’t spend much time thinking about the team this offseason.

This isn’t that post. Here are Florida’s five most important players for 2019.

David Reese, the veteran linebacker who has been in the middle of Florida’s defense since arriving in Gainesville in 2016, is not an exciting player. He’s not particularly fast, nor big, nor really the sort of collegian an NFL scout takes note of. When he announced his return to Florida for 2019, most fans politely sorted him in behind the rest of the group he announced with when considering the importance of his decision.
