McElwain sees young playmakers emerging

Florida knew it would be counting on freshmen playmakers this fall, and they’re starting to show Jim McElwain what they can do on the practice field.

Freshmen running backs Jordan Cronkrite and Jordan Scarlett were both set to make an impact this fall, but when Adam Lane decided to transfer over the weekend, it opened up the entire depth chart behind starter Kelvin Taylor.

The size and speed combination Scarlett brings to the table is easy to see on the practice field. He’s listed at 5-10 and 198 pounds but looks bigger than that.
