Great landing spot for this kid. Really happy for him - about as good a place for him to start his NFL career as you could ask for.
Kyle Trask - 2nd round to Tampa Bay
- Thread starter gatorbuilderorlando
- Start date
2nd string high schooler now a 2nd round pick. That's a story that should always be a lore to "Never give up on your dream"
sadgator’s dream isn’t that far from Raymond James...and he never gives up on it...
They only drafted him because he was a 2-star HS backup, and an Eagle Scout....
Just as well Grimes didn't get drafted at the end there. He's better off as a free agent so he can pick and choose which team to try out for.
There were 8 2020 UF football players drafted to the NFL.
TE Kyle Pitts
WR Kadarius Toney
QB Kyle Trask
DB Marco Wilson
K Evan McPherson
DB Shawn Davis
DT Tedarrell Slaton
OT Stone Forsythe
=====
Bigger News IMOHO, there were 11 ship football players that earned their UF degrees:
DB Marco Wilson (4th Rnd)
LB Lacedrick Brunson
DL Marlon Dunlap
K Jacob Finn (Masters in Finance)
TE Kemore Gamble (2021 TE starter)
LB James Houston IV (xfer-out)
DB C.J. McWilliams (xfer-out)
OL T.J. Moore
DB Donovan Stiner
WR Rick Wells (6th Yr Sr)
Bonus - 2019 1st Rnd (#9) pick and early (Jr) departure CB CJ Henderson continued to take classes this past year and has earned his UF degree.
F-A Signings: (so far)
QB Franks - Falcons
WR Grimes - Eagles
Late Additions
DB Stiner - Steelers
OL Heggie - Giants
==========
Another reason that I depend more on my own film opinions and offers from coaches, than I do on outsider star ratings.
McLame's Transfer in QB's - Del Rio, Appleby, & Zaire sucked imo.
And here are the HS recruit QB's Franks / Trask comparison.
FF Career UF/Ark, 36 Gms, 6,610 Yds, 61.4%, 55 TD's, 21 Ints (2.6 to 1)
-----
KT Career UF, 28 Gms, 7,386 Yds, 68%, 69 TD's, 15 Ints. (4.6 to 1)
(8 fewer Gms, 776 more Yds, 14 more TD's, 6 less ints)
Your favorite 4-star guy gets a chance to make an NFL roster with a Falcons F-A signing.
-----
My 2-star guy goes in the 2nd Rnd to the SB Champ Bucs.
PS
Small-short 3-star WR Toney 1-20
Big-tall 5-star WR Grimes F-A
TE Kyle Pitts
WR Kadarius Toney
QB Kyle Trask

DT Tedarrell Slaton

Which proves that you can never know how a recruit will react to the D-1 level. It’s not HS anymore. Some handle it and some don’t.
Never a bad start to your career when you join a defending World Champion.
To sit behind and learn from the GOAT QB for a year or two, before being thrown to the NFL's D-wolves....
man I reading this correctly? Trask, after all this time, didn't earn his degree?
Considering the vast number of posts you have made over the years that were strictly and only about recruiting stars, well...
While I have always known that the boards Bobbsey twins are the turds in the Gator punch bowl....
Not only does Trask have his degree, but he's got a nice-looking girlfriend - former UF softball player Jade Caraway. https://celebsindepth.com/kyle-trask-girlfriend-jade-caraway-gf-2020-21/Kyle Trask | Football 2020-21 | Senior CLASS Award
