-This week was a coming out party for Rivals100 DE Antonneous Clayton. Every day this week he delivered with strong play in 1on1's and 11on11. Logged quite a few sacks this week. He wasn't quite as disruptive as far as making sacks today but he lived in the Team highlight backfield. He is so quick off the line probably has the fastest first step in 2016. He's not as long in the legs as I thought coming in,but that didnt hurt him at all. Dude plays like gold.
- Chauncey Gardner was much better during the week than he was on the field today. He gave up that early TD pass and muffed the punt after being flawless in practice. I think he is best in the nickel rather than corner, but he is a guy that is able to move around the backfield. Reminds me of Brian Poole as far as his game, but much more electric. Aside from his early mistakes today, Chauncey fished with a lot of tackles.
- Josh Hammond was quiet today and had the ball stolen from his hands by a DB today for a turnover. He was one of the most well rounded wide outs for his team during practice. He runs solid routes, was able to get behind defenders, and even ran a few end arounds during practice in the week. Hammond isnt the most impressive guy when you see him, but he really elevates when he's on the field. Doesnt do one thing great but does a lot of things very good. I think he is a guy that will slide into the top 250 when the final rankings come around.
- Brett Heggie was probably the most surprising to me. He was great this week, but being a center he won't be as talked about as your QB's and skill players. He took a lot of lumps at the Opening over the summer from what people have told me that were out in Oregon, but he stepped his game up a lot out in Orlando. He's got nice size and was great run blocking and pass blocking during the week. I saw him miss a few assignments today, but overall he should be happy with the work he put in this week.
- I am a big Tyrie Cleveland fan. He looks goofy when you see him, just the look on his face always is lost. But dude is a BEAST on the field. He's long and really quick. With his long legs he covers a lot of ground and almost glides when he runs. He got better each day this week during practice but really fell off today with two easy drops. Florida's staff feels really good about their chances to land him as he will visit UF the weekend of Jan 29th. Houston lost their WR coach and that has him heavily shopping around. There was some talk this week that people close to him want him to get away from the Houston area, so that definitely is a plus in UF's corner.
- Nate Craig-Myers was pretty quiet this week. He made a few plays and also had a nice 18 yard gain in today's game, which was one of team armors biggest plays. I think he will lose his 5th star after this week though, just wasn't dominate enough. He's a great player and a guy UF absolutely needs but after talking to him this week it sounds like UF is losing ground.
- Kristian Fulton was great this week too in coverage giving up few catches all week. He gave up a grab to Miami commit Dionte Mullens today, who made a nice 1 handed grab. Fulton was one of the best corners all week for team Armour. I feel like UF has a shot for him landing the final visit. He hopes to have his family there so they can see the campuses and meet the staff more. Sounds like UF needs to convince the parents more than Kristian.
- Lyndell Wilson had 1 really strong day this week (think it was Wednesday or Thursday can't remember). Made some plays here and there and while he wasn't the biggest guy he put in some good stuff this week. Florida definitely could use a big time LB like him but I think its Bama or UGA here.
- Shavar Manuel played A LOT better this week with the 20 pounds gone. He was starting to fall off hard during the fall but is much better shape. He was disruptive during the week getting push from the DT position and made quite a few plays at DT before hurting his arm today. He looks much more like a guy that can move around the DL at DE and DT rather than just a flat out DT. Florida is the team to beat here.
- Dwayne Haskins had one really good day this week but struggled mostly. Threw a lot of INT's in practice and didnt do much in today's game. I think he is a good QB and has the ability to throw and run. Though he had struggles he was probably the best Qb on his team in practice. I thought the Qb play was weak overall this year tho. He's definitely shopping around on his Maryland commitment but UF, Ohio State and LSU remain in play. Florida's staff will likely remain after him after the dead period. I feel like he has interest in UF but people close to him feel like he sticks with Maryland in the end. Going to watch this one a bit more closely after dead period because I feel like this one is going to be a bit of a wild ride.
- Jayvaughn Myers struggled for most of the week but had his best practice on Thursday. Feel like the Gators are trending down for him based on his comments this week. Really didnt notice him in the game today.
- Eli Stove caught a lot of ball this week in practice. He runs tight routes and is very agile and quick. Didnt notice him much today though. I feel like UF is in this one a lot. Especially if staff gets a visit after he trips to the Plains.
Those are the guys I really watched most this week but if there is anyone else youre wondering about ask away.
