Position-by-position: Evaluating UF’s quarterbacks

Every Thursday until the end of the summer, alligatorSports will analyze a position on Florida’s football roster and identify strengths and weaknesses. We’ll start the series by taking a look at quarterbacks.

At this time last summer, Feleipe Franks was in the midst of a quarterback battle between himself, redshirt sophomore Kyle Trask and freshman Emory Jones.

Franks, who was inconsistent at best in eight starts as a redshirt freshman in 2017, eventually won the job. He took a big step forward in 2018, and for the first time in a long time the Gators won’t have a quarterback battle going into a season.
